ASIAN EMPEROR against its type
Built in 1999, it is 9 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 55,729 gross tonnage it is smaller than 68% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 43 vehicle carriers here under the South Korea flag, 6.0% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 41 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Jeju as port of registry.
Its 14,889 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.1 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 319.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 2,844 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 1.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (14,889 t) and the lowest 2021 (744 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 22 in 2018 to 69 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 291 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 69th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 66.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 224,669,081 tonne-miles over 46,573 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 11.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 1,265.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
