HOEGH OSAKA against its type

Built in 2000, it is 8 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 51,770 gross tonnage it is smaller than 72% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 54 vehicle carriers here under the Norway flag, 7.6% of the 713 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2020–2022), then Oslo (2023–2025).

Its 5,179 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 27% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 298.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,283 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 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (18,107 t) and the lowest 2020 (3,081 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 1 in 2020 to 32 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 137 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 32nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 43.5.

Across the 7 ranked vessels operated by Höegh Autoliners, the median percentile is 12. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 119,141,937 tonne-miles over 17,359 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 68.1% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 60.6% while distance sailed fell 58.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
