OPAL ACE against its type
Built in 2011, it is 3 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 60,131 gross tonnage it is larger than 64% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 3 vehicle carriers here under the Cayman Islands flag, 0.4% of the 713 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give GEORGE TOWN as port of registry.
Its 5,516 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 22% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 292.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,171 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (14,766 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,061 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 29 in 2018 to 58 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 59.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 62.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
