MEDITERRANEAN SEA against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 46,800 gross tonnage it is smaller than 79% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 62 vehicle carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 8.7% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 41 other vessels here, 22 of them vehicle carriers. Its MRV returns name it MEDITERRANEAN SEA for 2018–2022 and VIKING MEDITERRANEAN for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Saint John's (2018–2019), then Majuro (2020–2025).
Its 3,823 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 46% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 249.0 kg CO₂, 19% below the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,070 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 0.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (29,693 t) and the lowest 2025 (3,823 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 66 in 2018 to 86 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 87.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 80.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 21.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
