CSAV RIO GRANDE against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 46,800 gross tonnage it is smaller than 79% 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 41 other vessels here, 22 of them vehicle carriers. Its MRV returns name it CSAV RIO GRANDE for 2020–2021 and GOLD XING for 2022–2025. The returns for 2021–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 12,412 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.8 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 307.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 2,872 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 1.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (12,412 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,894 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 32 in 2020 to 100 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 423 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 100th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 273.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 45,360,510 tonne-miles over 40,424 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 328.9% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 64.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
