SAINT NICHOLAS against its type
Built in 2012, it is 5 years newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 13,110 gross tonnage it is larger than 70% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 181 general cargo ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 5.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 14 other vessels here, 10 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it THORCO LIVA for 2018–2019, SAINT NICHOLAS for 2021 and THORCO LIVA for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2019), then Majuro (2021–2025).
Its 2,507 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 11% below 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 152.8 kg CO₂, 25% above the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,480 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 0.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (2,507 t) and the lowest 2024 (392 t). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 322 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 67th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 34.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 71,909,664 tonne-miles over 16,414 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 116.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 540.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 19.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
