KAIFAN against its type

Built in 2014, it is 4 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 31,445 gross tonnage it is smaller than 68% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 24 oil tankers here under the Kuwait flag, 0.7% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 270 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Kuwait as port of registry.

Its 8,102 t of CO₂ for 2024 is close to the median of 8,196 t among the 1,808 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 310.9 kg CO₂, 24% below the type median of 408.2 kg. It logged 2,123 hours at sea against a median of 2,020 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (8,102 t) and the lowest 2020 (3,870 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 86 in 2019 to 88 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 1,376 of 1,566 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 88th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 15.7.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 515,695,099 tonne-miles over 26,058 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 73.3% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 51.9% while distance sailed rose 45.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
