ABU DHABI-III against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 57,748 gross tonnage it is smaller than 52% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 718 oil tankers here under the Liberia flag, 20.2% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 193 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2019–2025 all give MONROVIA as port of registry.
Its 12,735 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 times the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 481.0 kg CO₂, 19% above the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 2,664 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 9.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (13,741 t) and the lowest 2019 (3,089 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2019 to 77 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,111 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 77th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 10.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,173,717,972 tonne-miles over 26,476 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 312.3% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 7.3% while distance sailed fell 21.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 17.3%.
