AST SUNSHINE against its type
It is one of 244 oil tankers here under the Panama flag, 6.9% of the 3,548 on the register. Its MRV returns name it AST SUNSHINE for 2020–2021 and STENA SUNSHINE for 2022–2025. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 7,243 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 401.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 1,753 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 5.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (12,135 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,641 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 27 in 2020 to 38 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 554 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 38th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 6.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,095,762,481 tonne-miles over 18,026 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 49.0% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 40.3% while distance sailed fell 36.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
