SOUND PEARL against its type
Built in 2011, it is 4 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 29,829 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. Its MRV returns name it SEA ETIQUETTE for 2021 and SOUND PEARL for 2022–2025. The returns for 2022–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.
Its 2,705 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to 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 251.2 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 989 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 4.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (7,250 t) and the lowest 2021 (1,395 t). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 93.9% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 62.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
