AMERICA PEARL against its type
Built in 2014, it is 7 years newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 146 general cargo ships here under the Bahamas flag, 4.7% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 360 other vessels here, 8 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it BUNUN ELEGANCE for 2018–2022 and AMERICA PEARL for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: HONG KONG (2018–2019), then PANAMA (2021–2022), then Nassau (2023–2025).
Its 2,234 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 21% 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 203.2 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 963 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 2.2% 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 2018 (5,624 t) and the lowest 2023 (162 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2018 to 52 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 1,936 of 3,692 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 52nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 8.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 424,403,488 tonne-miles over 16,029 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 60.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 15.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 23.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
