GOLDEN SEA against its type
Built in 2008, it is 1 year 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 310 general cargo ships here under the Panama flag, 10.1% of the 3,081 on the register. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 1,181 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 58% 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 170.2 kg CO₂, 39% above the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 714 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 7.6% 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 2021 (2,650 t) and the lowest 2020 (519 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2021 to 95 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels 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 127.6% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 23.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 36.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
