GLOVIS CARDINAL against its type

Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 60,404 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 43 vehicle carriers here under the South Korea flag, 6.0% of the 713 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: MAJURO (2018), then JEJU (2019–2025).

Its 1,456 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 79% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 491.8 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 298 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 11.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (16,318 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,456 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 38 in 2018 to 67 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 89.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 61.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 6 MRV reporting years and 4 of 5 vessel particulars. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a name history, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
