SIDER LION against its type
Built in 2010, it is 3 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 15,545 gross tonnage it is larger than 73% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 69 general cargo ships here under the Malta flag, 2.2% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it ZEALAND ZARIA for 2018–2022 and SIDER LION for 2023–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 6,532 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.3 times 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 232.0 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,714 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 6.0% 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 2022 (9,446 t) and the lowest 2025 (6,532 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 92 in 2018 to 16 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 51 of 321 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 16th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.6; this vessel reported 12.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 697,141,186 tonne-miles over 37,860 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 6.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 21.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 5.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
