SPICA LEADER against its type

Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 41,886 gross tonnage it is smaller than 86% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 89 vehicle carriers here under the Liberia flag, 12.5% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 55 of them vehicle carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018), then Monrovia (2020–2023).

Its 3,055 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 61% below the median of 7,792 t among the 460 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 309.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 326.4 kg. It logged 674 hours at sea against a median of 1,623 hours for its type that year. 14.3% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.6%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (19,361 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,055 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 94 in 2020 to 83 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 82.5% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 84.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
