Its 2,374 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 16% 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 116.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,102 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.4% 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 (3,584 t) and the lowest 2024 (299 t). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 40.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 693.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
