INEOS INDEPENDENCE against its type
Built in 2017, it is 4 years newer than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 22,887 gross tonnage it is smaller than 54% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 59 gas carriers here under the Malta flag, 8.6% of the 688 on the register. Its MRV returns name it JS INEOS INDEPENDENCE for 2018–2022 and INEOS INDEPENDENCE for 2023–2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 14,485 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.4 times the median of 5,974 t among the 363 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 253.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 256.2 kg. It logged 4,000 hours at sea against a median of 1,943 hours for its type that year. 0.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 3.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (29,819 t) and the lowest 2019 (12,483 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 32 in 2018 to 63 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 184 of 292 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 63rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 27.9; this vessel reported 38.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 380,971,068 tonne-miles over 57,050 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 51.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 6.8% while distance sailed fell 4.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
