CGAS LION against its type
It is one of 59 gas carriers here under the Malta flag, 8.6% of the 688 on the register. Its MRV returns name it JS LEKVAR for 2018–2022, LEKVAR for 2023 and CGAS LION for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018–2023), then Valetta (2024), then VALLETTA (2025).
Its 4,171 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 30% below the median of 5,974 t among the 363 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 134.0 kg CO₂, 48% below the type median of 256.2 kg. It logged 5,862 hours at sea against a median of 1,943 hours for its type that year. 4.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 3.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (6,971 t) and the lowest 2024 (3,721 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 75 in 2018 to 97 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 28.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 12.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
