HOEGH TRADER against its type

Built in 1998, it is 10 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 68,060 gross tonnage it is larger than 83% 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 same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 45 of them vehicle carriers. Höegh Autoliners is linked to 7 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Oslo as port of registry.

Its 4,914 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 31% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 304.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,187 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (18,514 t) and the lowest 2018 (568 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 39 in 2019 to 12 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 50 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 12th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 34.7.

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

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 141,482,868 tonne-miles over 16,161 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 765.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 253.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
