ERIDANUS LEADER against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 59,501 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 66 vehicle carriers here under the Japan flag, 9.3% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 55 of them vehicle carriers. Its MRV returns name it ERIDANUS LEADER for 2018–2023 and GREEN DELTA for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: TOKYO (2018–2023), then Mobile, Alabama (2025).
Its 3,457 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 51% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 294.5 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 799 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 1.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (9,050 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,430 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 57 in 2018 to 42 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 176 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 42nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 47.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 73,350,308 tonne-miles over 11,737 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 55.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 73.7% while distance sailed rose 105.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 15.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
