HOEGH AMERICA 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 57,718 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 73 vehicle carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 10.2% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 75 other vessels here, 31 of them vehicle carriers. Its MRV returns name it HOEGH AMERICA for 2018 and RCC AMERICA for 2019–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.

Its 11,924 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.7 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 299.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 2,710 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 3.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (17,262 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,388 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 57 in 2018 to 62 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 264 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 62nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 60.5.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 197,116,879 tonne-miles over 39,858 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 0.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 20.1% while distance sailed fell 14.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
