NORDIC ACE 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 23,498 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 73 vehicle carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 10.2% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 75 other vessels here, 31 of them vehicle carriers. Its MRV returns name it NORDIC ACE for 2018–2023 and NORDIC RAY for 2024–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.
Its 15,499 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.2 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 227.3 kg CO₂, 26% below the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 4,581 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 14.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (17,157 t) and the lowest 2022 (12,846 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 99 in 2018 to 95 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
