VIKING SEA 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 returns for 2022–2025 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 3,842 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 55% below the median of 8,474 t among the 465 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 295.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 320.4 kg. It logged 894 hours at sea against a median of 1,799 hours for its type that year. 1.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 2.2%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 70 in 2022 to 85 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower 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 245 of 289 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 85th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 52.1; this vessel reported 82.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 46,629,854 tonne-miles over 12,998 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 27.0% higher than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2024, emissions rose 27.0% while distance sailed rose 26.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
