LIMERICK SPIRIT against its type
Built in 2007, it is 3 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 57,325 gross tonnage it is smaller than 53% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 180 oil tankers here under the Bahamas flag, 5.1% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 193 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Nassau as port of registry.
Its 4,295 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 48% below the median of 8,196 t among the 1,808 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 603.9 kg CO₂, 48% above the type median of 408.2 kg. It logged 744 hours at sea against a median of 2,020 hours for its type that year. 18.8% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (6,085 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,303 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 39 in 2018 to 85 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,336 of 1,566 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 85th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 13.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 313,744,339 tonne-miles over 7,113 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 29.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 53.1% while distance sailed rose 3.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 48.7%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
