PEARL ISLAND against its type
Built in 2018, it is 6 years newer than the median bulk carrier on this register, which was built in 2012 (6,882 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 637 bulk carriers here under the Hong Kong flag, 7.8% of the 8,138 on the register. The returns for 2019–2024 all give Hong Kong, China as port of registry.
Its 2,172 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 36% below the median of 3,377 t among the 3,676 bulk carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 229.5 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 264.0 kg. It logged 879 hours at sea against a median of 1,238 hours for its type that year. 8.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for bulk carriers was 2.9%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (5,617 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,062 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 25 in 2019 to 17 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 499 of 2,858 qualifying bulk carriers by EEOI, at the 17th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.9; this vessel reported 5.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 394,116,152 tonne-miles over 9,463 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 39.8% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2024, emissions rose 104.6% while distance sailed rose 160.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 21.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
