BLUE ASPIRE against its type
Built in 2024, it is 16 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 69,250 gross tonnage it is larger than 85% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 89 vehicle carriers here under the Liberia flag, 12.5% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 4 other vessels here. The returns for 2024–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 17,978 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.5 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 242.5 kg CO₂, 22% below the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 5,339 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 7.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 9 in 2024 to 37 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 158 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 37th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 45.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 397,211,666 tonne-miles over 74,138 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 241.3% higher than in 2024, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 241.3% while distance sailed rose 325.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 19.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
