UAL AFRICA 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 5,568 gross tonnage it is smaller than 57% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 306 general cargo ships here under the Netherlands flag, 9.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 100 other vessels here, 95 of them general cargo ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Hoogezand as port of registry.
Its 1,393 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 51% 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 123.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,101 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 1.8% 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 (5,655 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,393 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 72 in 2019 to 75 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 8 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 244 of 326 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 75th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 22.6; this vessel reported 30.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 78,530,368 tonne-miles over 22,101 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 38.1% 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 62.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
