LIBERTY PASSION against its type
Built in 2017, it is 9 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 58,107 gross tonnage it is smaller than 56% 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 461 other vessels here, 40 of them vehicle carriers. The reported port of registry changed: New York (2018–2023), then New York, NY (2025).
Its 6,810 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 292.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,710 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (10,769 t) and the lowest 2021 (3,093 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 13 in 2018 to 94 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 396 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 94th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 124.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 54,610,617 tonne-miles over 23,296 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 36.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 65.1% while distance sailed rose 85.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
