BC LARA 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 24,020 gross tonnage it is larger than 91% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 160 general cargo ships here under the Barbados flag, 5.2% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 69 other vessels here, 3 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it OCEAN RAINBOW for 2018 and BC LARA for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2022), then Bridgetown (2023–2025).
Its 3,332 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 18% above 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 255.1 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,166 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 6.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (8,851 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,137 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 95 in 2018 to 10 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 24.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 193.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 13.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
