PROMINENT ACE 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 57,789 gross tonnage it is smaller than 57% 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 102 other vessels here, 50 of them vehicle carriers. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2021), then TOKYO (2022–2024).

Its 10,980 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 30% above the median of 8,474 t among the 465 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 331.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 320.4 kg. It logged 2,110 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 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (13,490 t) and the lowest 2021 (6,979 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 26 in 2018 to 57 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 215 of 376 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 57th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 53.8; this vessel reported 57.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 131,053,773 tonne-miles over 24,181 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 42.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 45.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 5.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Where the 2024 emissions occurred

Methane, nitrous oxide and EU ETS2024

Total CO₂ equivalent: 11,153 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.18 t
Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 0.63 t
Under EU ETS: 5,633 t, 51% of total

Laden voyages2024

CO₂ on laden voyages: 9,945 t, 91% of total
Fuel, laden: 3,192 t

The rest of the 2024 total was emitted on ballast legs or at berth.
