PASSERO against its type
Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 47,053 gross tonnage it is smaller than 78% 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. Its MRV returns name it PASSERO for 2018–2021 and VIKING PASSERO for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Rostock (2018–2021), then Majuro (2022–2025).
Its 1,929 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 75% below the median of 7,792 t among the 460 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 310.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 326.4 kg. It logged 396 hours at sea against a median of 1,623 hours for its type that year. 1.0% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.6%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (24,041 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,929 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 75 in 2019 to 79 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 28.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 54.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 26.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

This page draws on 7 MRV reporting years, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.
Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
