SAOURA 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 8,161 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 9 general cargo ships here under the Algeria flag, 0.3% of the 3,081 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Algiers as port of registry.
Its 784 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 72% 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 189.8 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 377 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 7.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (5,182 t) and the lowest 2025 (784 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2019 to 87 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 415 of 479 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 87th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 29.4; this vessel reported 50.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 15,565,330 tonne-miles over 4,130 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 68.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2025, emissions fell 83.4% while distance sailed fell 76.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 29.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
