GRAND MERCURY against its type
Built in 2002, it is 6 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 58,947 gross tonnage it is larger than 50% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 177 vehicle carriers here under the Panama flag, 24.8% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 55 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2023–2024 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 4,536 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 46% below the median of 8,474 t among the 465 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 340.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 320.4 kg. It logged 826 hours at sea against a median of 1,799 hours for its type that year. 1.7% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 2.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (8,161 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,481 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 23 in 2021 to 41 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 119 of 289 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 41st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 52.1; this vessel reported 48.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 94,353,161 tonne-miles over 13,328 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 44.4% lower than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 206.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 18.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
