LAKE TAUPO against its type

Built in 2006, it is 2 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 89 vehicle carriers here under the Liberia flag, 12.5% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 41 other vessels here, 22 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 17,893 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.5 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 314.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 5,300 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (17,893 t) and the lowest 2022 (6,379 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 92 in 2020 to 89 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 376 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 89th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 104.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 171,112,461 tonne-miles over 56,824 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 21.2% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 11.8% while distance sailed fell 0.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 12.4%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2025 emissions occurred
