CREOLE SPIRIT against its type

Built in 2016, it is 2 years newer than the median LNG carrier on this register, which was built in 2014 (396 vessels with a known build year). At 113,263 gross tonnage it is larger than 54% of the other 377 LNG carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 63 LNG carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 11.7% of the 538 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 109 of them LNG carriers. Its MRV returns name it CREOLE SPIRIT for 2019–2021 and SEAPEAK CREOLE for 2022. The returns for 2019–2022 all give Nassau as port of registry.

Its 23,363 t of CO₂ for 2022 is close to the median of 22,878 t among the 386 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 805.6 kg CO₂, 12% above the type median of 722.5 kg. It logged 1,997 hours at sea against a median of 2,430 hours for its type that year. 1.4% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 2.0%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (23,363 t) and the lowest 2021 (6,135 t).
