INDEPENDENCE II against its type
Built in 1994, it is 14 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 55,598 gross tonnage it is smaller than 69% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 23 vehicle carriers here under the United States flag, 3.2% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 45 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2019 all give Wilmington, DE as port of registry.
Its 15,325 t of CO₂ for 2019 is 1.6 times the median of 9,793 t among the 480 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2019. Per nautical mile it emitted 356.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 327.6 kg. It logged 3,451 hours at sea against a median of 2,079 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2019 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.7%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 63 in 2018 to 76 in 2019 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2019 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2019
Position 306 of 403 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 76th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 58.8; this vessel reported 77.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 197,670,063 tonne-miles over 43,052 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2019 was 26.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2018 to 2019, emissions fell 26.2% while distance sailed fell 30.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
