TORTUGAS 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 61,321 gross tonnage it is larger than 70% 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 38 other vessels here, 17 of them vehicle carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 2,557 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 64% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 324.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 532 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 3.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (18,305 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,557 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 12 in 2018 to 40 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 170 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 40th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 46.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 54,797,300 tonne-miles over 7,871 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 86.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 38.6% while distance sailed fell 42.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
