MORNING CHORUS against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 57,536 gross tonnage it is smaller than 63% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 43 vehicle carriers here under the South Korea flag, 6.0% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 18 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2021–2025 all give JEJU as port of registry.
Its 6,053 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 14% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 338.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,156 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (12,969 t) and the lowest 2024 (464 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 29 in 2018 to 33 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 139 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 33rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 43.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 138,982,090 tonne-miles over 17,861 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 53.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 1,204.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
