TAURUS LEADER against its type
Built in 2015, it is 7 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 69,931 gross tonnage it is larger than 86% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 20 vehicle carriers here under the Singapore flag, 2.8% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 55 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2020 all give SINGAPORE as port of registry.
Its 5,335 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 35% below the median of 8,235 t among the 466 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 278.4 kg CO₂, 14% below the type median of 322.6 kg. It logged 1,398 hours at sea against a median of 1,883 hours for its type that year. 2.5% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 4.5%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (5,335 t) and the lowest 2019 (2,542 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 14 in 2018 to 8 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2020 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 34 of 422 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 8th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 55.5; this vessel reported 38.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 139,539,629 tonne-miles over 19,158 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 13.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions rose 109.8% while distance sailed rose 112.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
