EXCALIBUR against its type
Built in 2002, it is 12 years older than the median LNG carrier on this register, which was built in 2014 (396 vessels with a known build year). At 93,786 gross tonnage it is smaller than 92% of the other 377 LNG carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 5 LNG carriers here under the Belgium flag, 0.9% of the 538 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 109 of them LNG carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Antwerp (2019), then ANTWERPEN (2020), then Antwerp (2021), then Antwerpen (2023).
Its 23,033 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 22,978 t among the 367 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,515.3 kg CO₂, 2.3 times the type median of 650.5 kg. It logged 1,575 hours at sea against a median of 2,547 hours for its type that year. 0.6% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 2.1%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (43,270 t) and the lowest 2019 (8,498 t). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2023 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 46.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2023, emissions rose 143.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 46.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
