LNG SAKURA against its type

Built in 2018, it is 4 years newer than the median LNG carrier on this register, which was built in 2014 (396 vessels with a known build year). At 135,977 gross tonnage it is larger than 88% of the other 377 LNG carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 63 LNG carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 11.7% of the 538 on the register. The returns for 2019–2023 all give NASSAU as port of registry.

Its 22,886 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 21,516 t among the 351 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 493.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 533.6 kg. It logged 3,534 hours at sea against a median of 2,940 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 2.0%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (22,886 t) and the lowest 2019 (8,670 t). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 164.0% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 52.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 4 MRV reporting years and 4 of 5 vessel particulars. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a name history, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
