BW MESSINA against its type
Built in 2017, it is 4 years newer than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 48,542 gross tonnage it is larger than 94% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 99 gas carriers here under the Panama flag, 14.4% of the 688 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 20 of them gas carriers. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 16,041 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.7 times the median of 5,974 t among the 363 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 348.2 kg CO₂, 36% above the type median of 256.2 kg. It logged 3,403 hours at sea against a median of 1,943 hours for its type that year. 6.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 3.8%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (19,253 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,456 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 15 in 2019 to 21 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 61 of 292 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 21st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 27.9; this vessel reported 15.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,008,252,671 tonne-miles over 46,063 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 452.8% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 16.7% while distance sailed fell 15.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
