FRONT SEOUL against its type
Built in 2019, it is 9 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 82,305 gross tonnage it is larger than 78% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 139 oil tankers here under the Hong Kong flag, 3.9% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 193 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 14,982 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.9 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 408.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 3,873 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 8.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (25,094 t) and the lowest 2022 (4,831 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 11 in 2019 to 24 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 350 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 24th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 5.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,699,439,640 tonne-miles over 36,691 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 0.6% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 40.3% while distance sailed fell 31.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
