GANGES STAR against its type
Built in 2010, it is the same age as the median oil tanker on this register (build year 2010, 2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 8,581 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% 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 returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 6,249 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 21% below the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 197.6 kg CO₂, 51% below the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 3,576 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 13.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (8,688 t) and the lowest 2025 (6,249 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 95 in 2018 to 86 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 21.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 14.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
