MAERSK KARA against its type
Built in 2008, it is 2 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 24,112 gross tonnage it is smaller than 89% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 237 oil tankers here under the Singapore flag, 6.7% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 192 other vessels here, 71 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Singapore as port of registry.
Its 8,723 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 10% above the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 339.0 kg CO₂, 16% below the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 2,226 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 12.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (14,362 t) and the lowest 2021 (136 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 61 in 2019 to 96 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,384 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 96th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 25.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 343,544,309 tonne-miles over 25,728 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 217.3% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 10.2% while distance sailed rose 10.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
