ELEGANT GRACE 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 30,040 gross tonnage it is smaller than 71% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 289 oil tankers here under the Malta flag, 8.1% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 180 other vessels here, 51 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it SUNNY ISLES for 2019–2021 and ELEGANT GRACE for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2019–2021), then Majuro (2023).
Its 10,482 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 40% above the median of 7,491 t among the 1,850 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 304.1 kg CO₂, 26% below the type median of 408.5 kg. It logged 2,978 hours at sea against a median of 1,807 hours for its type that year. 8.9% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.4%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (10,482 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,110 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 21 in 2019 to 85 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2023 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,368 of 1,615 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 85th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 14.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 717,972,603 tonne-miles over 34,466 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 45.8% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2023, emissions rose 396.7% while distance sailed rose 405.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
