KARABAKH against its type
Built in 2018, it is 8 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 63,487 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 3 oil tankers here under the Azerbaijan flag, 0.1% of the 3,548 on the register. Its MRV returns name it SPERCHIOS for 2018–2020 and KARABAKH for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2020), then Baku (2023).
Its 3,661 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 51% below the median of 7,491 t among the 1,850 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 362.0 kg CO₂, 11% below the type median of 408.5 kg. It logged 1,106 hours at sea against a median of 1,807 hours for its type that year. 15.4% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.4%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (11,102 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,661 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 15 in 2018 to 78 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2023 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,265 of 1,615 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 78th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 12.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 304,283,458 tonne-miles over 10,112 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 67.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2023, emissions fell 52.5% while distance sailed fell 59.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
