MEDITERRANEAN HIGHWAY against its type

Built in 2002, it is 6 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 55,493 gross tonnage it is smaller than 70% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 177 vehicle carriers here under the Panama flag, 24.8% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 136 other vessels here, 36 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 2,559 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 64% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 311.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 629 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (21,113 t) and the lowest 2022 (104 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 12 in 2018 to 86 in 2024 (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 type2024

Position 250 of 289 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 86th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 52.1; this vessel reported 83.6.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 86th percentile, EEOI 83.6

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 137,929,657 tonne-miles over 35,857 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 80.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 77.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 8 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 5 of 5 vessel particulars and a licensed photograph. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a name history, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
