GLOVIS SONIC against its type
Built in 2017, it is 9 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 72,269 gross tonnage it is larger than 91% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 62 vehicle carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 8.7% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 461 other vessels here, 40 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2023 all give MAJURO as port of registry.
Its 7,643 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 7,792 t among the 460 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 383.7 kg CO₂, 18% above the type median of 326.4 kg. It logged 1,266 hours at sea against a median of 1,623 hours for its type that year. 6.3% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.6%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (7,643 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,192 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 8 in 2018 to 10 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 42 of 416 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 10th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 54.7; this vessel reported 39.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 107,163,535 tonne-miles over 10,514 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 15.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 81.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
