SPLENDID ACE against its type
Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). 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 69 other vessels here, 28 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2024 all give TOKYO as port of registry.
Its 1,308 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 85% below the median of 8,474 t among the 465 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 349.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 320.4 kg. It logged 303 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 2022 (11,414 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,308 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 56 in 2020 to 65 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 246 of 376 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 65th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 53.8; this vessel reported 62.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 80,792,358 tonne-miles over 15,528 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 21.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 73.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
