AQUA SPIRIT against its type
Built in 1999, it is 14 years older than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 6,051 gross tonnage it is smaller than 92% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 99 gas carriers here under the Panama flag, 14.4% of the 688 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 100 of them gas carriers. The returns for 2018–2021 all give Douglas as port of registry.
Its 6,637 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 18% above the median of 5,641 t among the 329 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 147.2 kg CO₂, 45% below the type median of 265.7 kg. It logged 4,307 hours at sea against a median of 1,780 hours for its type that year. 6.9% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 4.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (7,228 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,336 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 72 in 2018 to 58 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 169 of 290 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 58th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 42.7; this vessel reported 49.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 134,189,850 tonne-miles over 45,076 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 43.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 8.2% while distance sailed rose 2.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.0%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
