HELLESPONT PROMISE against its type
Built in 2007, it is 3 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 42,010 gross tonnage it is smaller than 63% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 40 oil tankers here under the Isle of Man flag, 1.1% of the 3,548 on the register. Its MRV returns name it HELLESPONT PROMISE for 2018–2024 and VS PROMISE for 2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Douglas as port of registry.
Its 3,210 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 59% 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 428.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 980 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 6.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (11,328 t) and the lowest 2025 (3,210 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2018 to 69 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 29.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 71.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 19.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
