GRACEFUL LEADER against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 57,692 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 73 vehicle carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 10.2% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 75 other vessels here, 31 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.
Its 5,412 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 24% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 333.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,064 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (24,762 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,338 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 78 in 2018 to 29 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 122 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 29th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 42.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 127,727,638 tonne-miles over 16,222 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 78.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 74.6% while distance sailed fell 75.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
