SILVER SUN against its type
Built in 1988, it is 20 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 39,187 gross tonnage it is smaller than 89% 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 returns for 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 13,214 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.9 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 211.3 kg CO₂, 32% below the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 4,571 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 3.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (14,359 t) and the lowest 2020 (8,230 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 74 in 2018 to 46 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 196 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 46th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 49.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 269,024,226 tonne-miles over 62,548 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 8.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 5.5% while distance sailed rose 12.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
