HAPPY RIVER against its type
Built in 1997, it is 10 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 10,990 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 306 general cargo ships here under the Netherlands flag, 9.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 20 other vessels here, 3 of them general cargo ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Amsterdam as port of registry.
Its 6,980 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.5 times 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 242.8 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 2,646 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.8% 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 (12,541 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,897 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 2.9% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 44.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
