BLUE PRINCE 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 60,185 gross tonnage it is larger than 52% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 793 oil tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 22.4% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 204 other vessels here, 19 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it ALBANEL for 2018 and BLUE PRINCE for 2019–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 9,026 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 14% above the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 471.3 kg CO₂, 17% above the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 2,182 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 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (28,581 t) and the lowest 2025 (9,026 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2018 to 74 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,074 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 10.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 870,383,799 tonne-miles over 19,152 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 67.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 59.5% while distance sailed fell 60.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
