About PEARL PHOENIX
PEARL PHOENIX is a Bahamas-flagged Bulk Carrier registered under IMO 9133558 (MMSI 270670299) and currently associated with the Port of Roseau, Dominica. Vessels in this class belong to the broader dry bulk facility family — operationally that means cargo handling and voyage planning are dominated by Capesize, Panamax, Supramax and Handysize bulk carriers loading or discharging iron ore, coal, grain, bauxite, alumina, fertilisers, and other dry bulk commodities. Discharge typically uses ship-mounted or shore-based grab cranes, continuous unloaders, or pneumatic systems for grain, with covered conveyor lines feeding stockpile yards and onward rail or barge evacuation. She measures 261 metres in length overall by 37 metres in beam, with a gross tonnage of 410,229 GT and a deadweight of 569,763 tonnes.
The vessel is shown at anchor, typically waiting for a berth, awaiting tide, taking bunkers, or holding while clearance and documentation are finalised. Her current declared estimated time of arrival is May 6, 2026 07:42 UTC, although ETAs are routinely revised in transit to reflect weather, routeing and pilot scheduling. She was built in 2018. The vessel is registered with the International Maritime Organization, whose database of registered ships and the conventions governing their operation is published at the IMO conventions library.
IMO numbers are issued by IHS Markit on behalf of the International Maritime Organization and remain attached to the hull for the lifetime of the vessel â they do not change with sale, re-flagging, or rename. MMSI numbers, in contrast, are issued by the flag state’s telecommunications administration and identify the vessel’s radio installation; an MMSI changes when a vessel changes flag. When researching an individual ship across historical records â particularly for incident investigation, port state inspection history, or insurance claims â the IMO number (9133558) is the stable identifier to anchor the search on, while the MMSI is the right key for AIS reception logs and VHF radio licensing records.
The vessel’s declared dimensions of 261 metres length overall by 37 metres beam, with 410,229 gross tonnage and 569,763 tonnes deadweight, place her in a specific size class within the global bulk carrier fleet. These particulars determine which port berths she can use, which canals she can transit (Panama Canal locks, Suez Canal draught, the Strait of Malacca’s Malaccamax constraint), and which terminals around the world have the cranes and yard plant to work her efficiently.
