BRIGHT OCEAN III against its type
Built in 2013, it is 6 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 22,866 gross tonnage it is larger than 86% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 181 general cargo ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 5.9% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it BRIGHT OCEAN III for 2018–2019 and SSI MARVELOUS for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2019), then MAJURO (2020–2025).
Its 1,644 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 42% 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 195.8 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 710 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 6.4% 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 2019 (5,917 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,146 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 53 in 2018 to 23 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). 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 type2022
Position 93 of 406 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 23rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.3; this vessel reported 15.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 290,765,696 tonne-miles over 18,275 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 43.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 43.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
