SANDERLING ACE: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

SANDERLING ACE against its type

Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 58,685 gross tonnage it is smaller than 53% 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. The same builder is recorded for 69 other vessels here, 28 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2024 all give MAJURO as port of registry.

Its 5,046 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 29% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 302.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,128 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.7% 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 (15,050 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,917 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 47 in 2018 to 43 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 184 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 43rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 47.7.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 105,853,157 tonne-miles over 16,694 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 31.9% 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 66.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 22.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
