HELLESPONT PROTECTOR: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

HELLESPONT PROTECTOR 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. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Douglas as port of registry.

Its 8,744 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 10% above the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 453.0 kg CO₂, 12% above the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 1,778 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 11.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (8,744 t) and the lowest 2020 (4,078 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 72 in 2018 to 86 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,253 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 86th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 15.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 579,870,690 tonne-miles over 19,304 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 32.0% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2025, emissions rose 75.9% while distance sailed rose 56.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 12.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2025, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 4 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking and 4 of 5 vessel particulars. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a name history, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
