GRANDE COLONIA 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 38,651 gross tonnage it is smaller than 90% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 19 vehicle carriers here under the Italy flag, 2.7% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 54 other vessels here, 20 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Palermo as port of registry.

Its 14,302 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 306.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 3,314 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 6.5% 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 (22,449 t) and the lowest 2025 (14,302 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 33 in 2018 to 82 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 348 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 82nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 85.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 168,065,805 tonne-miles over 46,718 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 36.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 28.1% while distance sailed fell 23.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2025 emissions occurred

Methane, nitrous oxide and EU ETS2025

Total CO₂ equivalent: 14,526 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.23 t
Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 0.82 t
Under EU ETS: 9,422 t, 66% of total
