BILBAO KNUTSEN against its type
Built in 2004, it is 10 years older than the median LNG carrier on this register, which was built in 2014 (396 vessels with a known build year). At 90,835 gross tonnage it is smaller than 94% of the other 377 LNG carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 11 LNG carriers here under the Norway flag, 2.0% of the 538 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 7 other vessels here, 2 of them LNG carriers. Knutsen O.A.S. Shipping AS is linked to 4 vessels on this register.
Its 22,321 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 22,978 t among the 367 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 989.1 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 650.5 kg. It logged 1,534 hours at sea against a median of 2,547 hours for its type that year. 1.5% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 2.1%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (76,102 t) and the lowest 2022 (19,418 t). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 18.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 14.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
