HAPPY PELICAN against its type
Built in 2012, it is 1 year older than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 8,009 gross tonnage it is smaller than 83% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 24 gas carriers here under the Isle of Man flag, 3.5% of the 688 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Douglas as port of registry.
Its 5,677 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 5,974 t among the 363 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 276.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 256.2 kg. It logged 1,349 hours at sea against a median of 1,943 hours for its type that year. 15.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 3.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (9,773 t) and the lowest 2025 (5,677 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 95 in 2018 to 99 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 21.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 24.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 27.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
