UAL FORTITUDE against its type
Built in 2008, it is 1 year newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 9,611 gross tonnage it is larger than 63% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 187 general cargo ships here under the Portugal flag, 6.1% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 95 other vessels here, 17 of them general cargo ships. The reported port of registry changed: St John's (2018–2019), then Madeira (2020–2025).
Its 2,566 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 40% below the median of 4,268 t among the 1,316 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 195.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 189.1 kg. It logged 1,146 hours at sea against a median of 2,017 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 3.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (4,811 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,103 t).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 46.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 8.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
