AUSTRALIS: CO₂ emissions 2018–2024

AUSTRALIS against its type

Built in 2003, it is 7 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 156,914 gross tonnage it is larger than 89% 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 reported port of registry changed: CHIOS (2018), then VALLETTA (2019–2022), then Monrovia (2024).

Its 9,656 t of CO₂ for 2019 is close to the median of 8,893 t among the 1,953 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2019. Per nautical mile it emitted 2,354.6 kg CO₂, 5.4 times the type median of 433.2 kg. It logged 415 hours at sea against a median of 2,280 hours for its type that year. 65.2% of its 2019 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.8%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 36 in 2018 to 53 in 2019 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2019 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2019

Position 918 of 1,739 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 53rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.4; this vessel reported 8.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,101,043,330 tonne-miles over 4,101 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2019 was 67.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2018 to 2019, emissions rose 67.8% while distance sailed fell 47.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 221.0%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2024, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 6 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking and 4 of 5 vessel particulars. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a name history, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
