THERMOPYLAE 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 75,283 gross tonnage it is larger than 97% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 31 vehicle carriers here under the Malta flag, 4.3% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 461 other vessels here, 40 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 11,229 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 359.0 kg CO₂, 16% above the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 2,212 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 4.3% 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 (20,851 t) and the lowest 2022 (4,811 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 10 in 2018 to 22 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 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 94 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 22nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 40.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 280,234,839 tonne-miles over 31,280 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 45.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 88.8% while distance sailed rose 61.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
