At 29,758 gross tonnage it is larger than 95% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 146 general cargo ships here under the Bahamas flag, 4.7% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 468 other vessels here, 92 of them general cargo ships. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2023), then NASSAU (2024–2025).
Its 3,630 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 29% 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 228.8 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 1,459 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 1.9% 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 2021 (9,985 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,159 t). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 43.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 43.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 16.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
