OCEANUS LEADER against its type

Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 62,838 gross tonnage it is larger than 75% 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 307 other vessels here, 55 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give PANAMA as port of registry.

Its 5,606 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 21% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 323.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,083 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 1.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (12,848 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,717 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 33 in 2018 to 31 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 130 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 31st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 42.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 131,066,168 tonne-miles over 17,337 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 21.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 53.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
