FREEDOM against its type
Built in 1997, it is 11 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 49,821 gross tonnage it is smaller than 74% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 23 vehicle carriers here under the United States flag, 3.2% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 57 other vessels here, 5 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2021 all give Wilmington, DE as port of registry.
Its 9,275 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 22% above the median of 7,575 t among the 464 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 283.5 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 325.8 kg. It logged 2,458 hours at sea against a median of 1,568 hours for its type that year. 4.0% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 4.3%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (14,862 t) and the lowest 2021 (9,275 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 40 in 2018 to 56 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2021 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 241 of 429 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 56th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 57.7; this vessel reported 61.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 150,593,928 tonne-miles over 32,721 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 29.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 37.6% while distance sailed fell 38.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
