UML VERONICA 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 9,772 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% 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. Its MRV returns name it ZEA KELANI for 2018–2019 and UML VERONICA for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Colombo (2018–2019), then St. John's (2020–2025).
Its 2,984 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to 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 185.8 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,552 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 6.3% 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 2024 (6,838 t) and the lowest 2018 (877 t). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 95 of 155 qualifying other ship typess by EEOI, at the 61st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.0; this vessel reported 54.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 125,443,955 tonne-miles over 30,551 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 240.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 56.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 17.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
