GRAND PIONEER 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 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 5,671 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 20% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 311.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,213 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (15,220 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,022 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 15 in 2018 to 57 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 242 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 57th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 56.0.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 101,225,812 tonne-miles over 18,218 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 59.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 180.5% while distance sailed rose 188.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
