MARLIN APATITE against its type
Built in 2016, it is 6 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 29,534 gross tonnage it is smaller than 77% 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 192 other vessels here, 71 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it MARLIN APATITE for 2018–2022 and SUNNY APATITE for 2023–2024. The returns for 2022–2024 all give MAJURO as port of registry.
Its 4,673 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 43% 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 229.5 kg CO₂, 44% below the type median of 408.2 kg. It logged 1,873 hours at sea against a median of 2,020 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (10,312 t) and the lowest 2024 (4,673 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 56 in 2022 to 74 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,161 of 1,566 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 10.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 459,017,682 tonne-miles over 20,357 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 54.7% lower than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 53.7% while distance sailed fell 48.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
