ELIAS TSAKOS against its type
Built in 2016, it is 6 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 62,557 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 215 oil tankers here under the Greece flag, 6.1% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 86 other vessels here, 14 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Piraeus as port of registry.
Its 20,642 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.6 times the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 408.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 4,669 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 14.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (20,642 t) and the lowest 2019 (13,326 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 48 in 2018 to 51 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 8 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 743 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 51st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 7.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,726,771,466 tonne-miles over 50,566 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 15.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 7.8% while distance sailed rose 7.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
