HORIZON LEADER against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 58,767 gross tonnage it is smaller than 51% 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 983 other vessels here, 41 of them vehicle carriers. Its MRV returns name it HORIZON LEADER for 2018–2021 and HORIZON RAY for 2022–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.
Its 1,915 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 73% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 344.4 kg CO₂, 11% above the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 441 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 8.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (9,760 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,915 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 68 in 2018 to 43 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 8 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 181 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 43rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 47.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 40,265,825 tonne-miles over 5,560 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 79.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 79.8% while distance sailed fell 76.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
