TAIPAN against its type

Built in 2006, it is 2 years older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 57,692 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 73 vehicle carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 10.2% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 75 other vessels here, 31 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.

Its 11,677 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.7 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 325.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 2,702 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (21,642 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,640 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 74 in 2018 to 86 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 366 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 86th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 94.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 123,160,110 tonne-miles over 35,850 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 14.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 612.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
