SAGA HORIZON against its type
Built in 1995, it is 12 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 29,381 gross tonnage it is larger than 94% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 146 general cargo ships here under the Bahamas flag, 4.7% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 468 other vessels here, 92 of them general cargo ships. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2024), then Nassau (2025).
Its 3,293 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 17% above the median of 2,820 t among the 2,469 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 281.9 kg CO₂, 2.3 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,173 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (10,566 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,750 t). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 68.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 19.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 17.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
