BEKS SWAN against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 62,863 gross tonnage it is larger than 63% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 237 oil tankers here under the Singapore flag, 6.7% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 194 other vessels here, 56 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it OCEAN VELA for 2019 and BEKS SWAN for 2022–2023. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2019), then MAJURO (2022–2023).
Its 2,602 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 65% below the median of 7,491 t among the 1,850 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 602.7 kg CO₂, 48% above the type median of 408.5 kg. It logged 432 hours at sea against a median of 1,807 hours for its type that year. 5.6% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.4%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (4,124 t) and the lowest 2019 (2,541 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 23 in 2019 to 82 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,331 of 1,615 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 82nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 13.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 193,280,832 tonne-miles over 4,316 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 2.4% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 36.9% while distance sailed fell 31.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
