SOPHIA against its type
Built in 2011, it is 4 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 9,616 gross tonnage it is larger than 64% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 381 general cargo ships here under the Antigua and Barbuda flag, 12.4% of the 3,081 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2021), then St. John´s (2023–2025).
Its 773 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 73% 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 193.7 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 353 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (16,091 t) and the lowest 2025 (773 t). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 86.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 91.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 9.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
