LAFAYETTE BAY against its type
Built in 2015, it is 5 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 29,735 gross tonnage it is smaller than 75% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 793 oil tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 22.4% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 180 other vessels here, 51 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it LAFAYETTE BAY for 2018–2020 and SEAWAYS CAPE MAY for 2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 4,048 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 54% below the median of 8,732 t among the 1,884 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 295.0 kg CO₂, 31% below the type median of 424.6 kg. It logged 1,155 hours at sea against a median of 1,939 hours for its type that year. 12.9% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.6%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 78 in 2018 to 50 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2020 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 type2020
Position 850 of 1,708 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 50th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.7; this vessel reported 8.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 470,662,791 tonne-miles over 13,719 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 68.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2020, emissions fell 68.8% while distance sailed fell 73.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
