LIBERTY 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). At 61,321 gross tonnage it is larger than 70% 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 38 other vessels here, 17 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Wilmington, DE as port of registry.
Its 4,037 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 52% below the median of 8,474 t among the 465 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 353.9 kg CO₂, 10% above the type median of 320.4 kg. It logged 698 hours at sea against a median of 1,799 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 2.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (16,235 t) and the lowest 2024 (4,037 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 26 in 2018 to 21 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 62 of 289 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 21st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 52.1; this vessel reported 41.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 97,349,409 tonne-miles over 11,406 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 59.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 52.5% while distance sailed fell 57.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 12.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
