ASIAN KING against its type
Built in 1998, it is 10 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 54 vehicle carriers here under the Norway flag, 7.6% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 18 of them vehicle carriers. Its MRV returns name it ASIAN KING for 2018–2020 and LIBERTY KING for 2021–2022. The reported port of registry changed: Oslo (2018–2020), then Majuro (2021–2022).
Its 1,831 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 78% below the median of 8,301 t among the 462 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 312.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 336.8 kg. It logged 343 hours at sea against a median of 1,694 hours for its type that year. 1.5% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 4.0%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (21,057 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,831 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 32 in 2018 to 22 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 92 of 416 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 22nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 54.7; this vessel reported 44.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 41,178,997 tonne-miles over 5,863 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 91.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions fell 54.1% while distance sailed fell 50.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
