DURBAN HIGHWAY against its type

Built in 2011, it is 3 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 58,997 gross tonnage it is larger than 51% 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 102 other vessels here, 50 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give PANAMA as port of registry.

Its 9,200 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 30% above the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 320.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,770 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (27,021 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,924 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 26 in 2019 to 24 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 100 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 24th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 40.7.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 226,223,260 tonne-miles over 28,749 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 214.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 66.0% while distance sailed fell 66.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
