BW ORION against its type
Built in 2015, it is 2 years newer than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 47,342 gross tonnage it is larger than 78% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 24 gas carriers here under the Isle of Man flag, 3.5% of the 688 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 100 of them gas carriers. The returns for 2019–2022 all give Douglas as port of registry.
Its 9,989 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 1.5 times the median of 6,608 t among the 355 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 372.3 kg CO₂, 33% above the type median of 279.0 kg. It logged 1,784 hours at sea against a median of 1,992 hours for its type that year. 3.6% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 5.7%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (9,989 t) and the lowest 2021 (4,307 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 2 in 2019 to 6 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 19 of 316 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 6th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.5; this vessel reported 13.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 733,921,381 tonne-miles over 26,832 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 12.7% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions rose 131.9% while distance sailed rose 147.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
