EMS HIGHWAY against its type

Built in 1999, it is 9 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 3 vehicle carriers here under the Cyprus flag, 0.4% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 35 other vessels here, 3 of them vehicle carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Liamassol (2018–2021), then Limassol (2022–2025).

Its 10,163 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 44% above the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 143.5 kg CO₂, 54% below the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 5,956 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (11,091 t) and the lowest 2022 (8,974 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 97 in 2018 to 96 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 408 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 96th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 172.5.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 58,924,107 tonne-miles over 70,804 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 1.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 7.8% while distance sailed rose 9.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
