VOLANS LEADER against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 61,775 gross tonnage it is larger than 72% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 177 vehicle carriers here under the Panama flag, 24.8% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 323 other vessels here, 27 of them vehicle carriers. Nippon Yusen is linked to 11 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 7,708 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 310.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,614 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 1.0% 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 (9,447 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,281 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2018 to 56 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 238 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 56th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 55.0.
Across the 9 ranked vessels operated by Nippon Yusen, the median percentile is 40. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 140,113,252 tonne-miles over 24,864 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 18.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 501.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
