KITA LNG against its type
Built in 2014, it is the same age as the median LNG carrier on this register (build year 2014, 396 vessels with a known build year). At 103,902 gross tonnage it is smaller than 66% of the other 377 LNG carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 60 LNG carriers here under the Malta flag, 11.2% of the 538 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 109 of them LNG carriers. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 17,394 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 11% above the median of 15,704 t among the 348 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,279.6 kg CO₂, 2.3 times the type median of 552.7 kg. It logged 1,031 hours at sea against a median of 2,215 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 1.6%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (32,752 t) and the lowest 2019 (5,974 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 20 in 2019 to 40 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 123 of 308 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 40th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 39.4; this vessel reported 31.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 777,306,129 tonne-miles over 36,969 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 46.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 126.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 127.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
