ALBA against its type
Built in 2005, it is 5 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 63,462 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 793 oil tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 22.4% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 217 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it ALBA for 2018–2021 and URSUS MARITIMUS for 2022–2023. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2023).
Its 10,639 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 42% above the median of 7,491 t among the 1,850 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 547.4 kg CO₂, 34% above the type median of 408.5 kg. It logged 1,629 hours at sea against a median of 1,807 hours for its type that year. 5.5% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.4%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (22,893 t) and the lowest 2019 (4,694 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 66 in 2018 to 26 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 418 of 1,615 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 26th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 6.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,782,035,176 tonne-miles over 19,436 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 18.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 17.2% while distance sailed rose 24.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
