POLARIS HIGHWAY against its type
Built in 2017, it is 9 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 76,299 gross tonnage it is larger than 98% 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 121 other vessels here. The returns for 2018–2024 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 11,946 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 41% above the median of 8,474 t among the 465 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 328.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 320.4 kg. It logged 2,531 hours at sea against a median of 1,799 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 2.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (21,691 t) and the lowest 2024 (11,946 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 35 in 2018 to 41 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 177 of 429 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 41st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 57.7; this vessel reported 54.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 221,326,561 tonne-miles over 43,262 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 43.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2024, emissions fell 0.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 18.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
