HEROIC ACE against its type
Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 56,439 gross tonnage it is smaller than 66% 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 69 other vessels here, 28 of them vehicle carriers. Wilh. Wilhelmsen is linked to 2 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2022 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 11,086 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 34% above the median of 8,301 t among the 462 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 296.2 kg CO₂, 12% below the type median of 336.8 kg. It logged 2,268 hours at sea against a median of 1,694 hours for its type that year. 1.5% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 4.0%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (11,086 t) and the lowest 2020 (3,939 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 22 in 2018 to 39 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 162 of 416 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 39th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 54.7; this vessel reported 49.9.
Across the 4 ranked vessels operated by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, the median percentile is 26. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 222,339,551 tonne-miles over 37,427 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 147.9% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2022, emissions rose 181.4% while distance sailed rose 129.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 22.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
