SAGA PIONEER against its type
Built in 2008, it is 1 year newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 29,758 gross tonnage it is larger than 95% 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 (2018–2022), then NASSAU (2025).
Its 3,304 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 263.0 kg CO₂, 2.2 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,153 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 5.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (10,335 t) and the lowest 2025 (3,304 t). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2018
Position 341 of 380 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 90th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 26.8; this vessel reported 69.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 138,344,361 tonne-miles over 39,936 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 65.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 63.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
