CAPRICORNUS LEADER against its type

Built in 2004, it is 4 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 61,854 gross tonnage it is larger than 73% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 20 vehicle carriers here under the Singapore flag, 2.8% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 136 other vessels here, 36 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give SINGAPORE as port of registry.

Its 2,025 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 71% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 380.2 kg CO₂, 23% above the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 450 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 7.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (10,596 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,025 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 67 in 2018 to 54 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 228 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 54th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 53.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 37,919,865 tonne-miles over 5,327 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 80.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 73.0% while distance sailed fell 74.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2025 emissions occurred

Methane, nitrous oxide and EU ETS2025

Total CO₂ equivalent: 2,057 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.03 t
Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 0.12 t
Under EU ETS: 1,154 t, 57% of total
