GAS MELODY against its type
Built in 2009, it is 4 years older than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 18,311 gross tonnage it is smaller than 60% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 131 gas carriers here under the Liberia flag, 19.0% of the 688 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 64 of them gas carriers. Its MRV returns name it IRMGARD SCHULTE for 2020–2023 and GAS MELODY for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: Douglas (2020–2023), then Monrovia (2024).
Its 1,920 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 66% below the median of 5,702 t among the 338 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 250.5 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 262.3 kg. It logged 550 hours at sea against a median of 1,868 hours for its type that year. 1.7% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 4.5%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2020 to 57 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 169 of 297 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 57th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.5; this vessel reported 44.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 43,633,409 tonne-miles over 7,664 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 5.5% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2023, emissions fell 5.5% while distance sailed fell 6.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
