BLACK MARLIN against its type
Built in 1999, it is 10 years older than the median vessel in the other ship types category on this register, which was built in 2009 (451 vessels with a known build year). At 37,938 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% of the other 436 vessels in the other ship types category with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 13 vessels in the other ship types category here under the Malta flag, 2.6% of the 499 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 80 other vessels here, 4 of them vessels in the other ship types category. The reported port of registry changed: Willemstad (2018–2019), then Valletta (2021–2025).
Its 28,038 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 4.4 times the median of 6,327 t among the 269 vessels in the other ship types category on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 475.4 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 226.4 kg. It logged 5,788 hours at sea against a median of 2,435 hours for its type that year. 1.2% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for vessels in the other ship types category was 3.3%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (28,038 t) and the lowest 2019 (9,145 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 37 in 2023 to 74 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 115 of 155 qualifying other ship typess by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.0; this vessel reported 87.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 320,986,606 tonne-miles over 58,973 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 108.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 179.3% while distance sailed rose 200.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
