ARCTICA 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 65,293 gross tonnage it is larger than 68% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 58 oil tankers here under the Norway flag, 1.6% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 193 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it STENA ARCTICA for 2018–2021 and ARCTICA for 2022–2024. The reported port of registry changed: Helsinki (2018–2020), then Arendal (2021–2024).

Its 25,244 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 3.1 times the median of 8,196 t among the 1,808 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 492.0 kg CO₂, 21% above the type median of 408.2 kg. It logged 5,224 hours at sea against a median of 2,020 hours for its type that year. 15.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (25,244 t) and the lowest 2021 (15,992 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 74 in both 2018 and 2024. Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 1,166 of 1,566 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 10.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,465,242,188 tonne-miles over 51,307 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 8.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 6.2% while distance sailed fell 10.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 19.0%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
