PHOENIX LEADER against its type

Built in 2004, it is 4 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 61,804 gross tonnage it is larger than 72% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 66 vehicle carriers here under the Japan flag, 9.3% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 136 other vessels here, 36 of them vehicle carriers. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2021), then OMUTA (2022–2025).

Its 3,095 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 56% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 342.1 kg CO₂, 11% above the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 645 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 4.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (10,198 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,790 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 8 in 2018 to 74 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 311 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 71.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 43,078,218 tonne-miles over 9,049 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 5.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 53.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 10.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Where the 2025 emissions occurred

Methane, nitrous oxide and EU ETS2025

Total CO₂ equivalent: 3,143 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.05 t
Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 0.18 t
Under EU ETS: 2,348 t, 76% of total
