FRONT SUEZ 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 reported port of registry changed: HONG KONG (2019–2020), then Hongkong (2021–2022), then Hong Kong (2024–2025).
Its 12,718 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 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 413.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 3,005 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 8.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (22,267 t) and the lowest 2021 (9,874 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 1 in 2019 to 31 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 447 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 31st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 6.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,112,588,040 tonne-miles over 30,762 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 17.0% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 42.9% while distance sailed fell 41.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
