CRONUS LEADER against its type
Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median vehicle carrier on this register (build year 2008, 595 vessels with a known build year). At 61,804 gross tonnage it is larger than 72% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 177 vehicle carriers here under the Panama flag, 24.8% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 136 other vessels here, 36 of them vehicle carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018–2021), then Kaminoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture (2023–2025).
Its 8,698 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 23% above the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 319.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,870 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 4.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (8,698 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,868 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2018 to 47 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 201 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 49.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 175,601,050 tonne-miles over 27,229 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 17.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 365.5% while distance sailed rose 302.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 15.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
