HESTIA LEADER against its type

Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median vehicle carrier on this register (build year 2008, 595 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 66 vehicle carriers here under the Japan flag, 9.3% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 55 of them vehicle carriers. Nippon Yusen is linked to 11 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give TOKYO as port of registry.

Its 3,397 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 52% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 311.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 835 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 5.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (10,988 t) and the lowest 2021 (1,570 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 40 in 2018 to 89 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 377 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 89th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 106.0.

Across the 9 ranked vessels operated by Nippon Yusen, the median percentile is 40. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 32,048,113 tonne-miles over 10,901 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 36.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 38.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
