VIKING EMERALD against its type

Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 39,454 gross tonnage it is smaller than 88% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 62 vehicle carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 8.7% of the 713 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018), then Majuro (2023–2025).

Its 6,520 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 23% below the median of 8,474 t among the 465 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 294.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 320.4 kg. It logged 1,595 hours at sea against a median of 1,799 hours for its type that year. 1.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 2.2%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 92 in 2023 to 78 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 226 of 289 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 78th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 52.1; this vessel reported 74.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 87,947,936 tonne-miles over 22,129 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

2023: 3,007 t20233,0072024: 6,520 t20246,520

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 116.8% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 116.8% while distance sailed rose 113.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 4 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking and 4 of 5 vessel particulars. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a name history, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
