MATALA against its type
Built in 2017, it is 7 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 82,648 gross tonnage it is larger than 79% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 289 oil tankers here under the Malta flag, 8.1% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 217 of them oil tankers. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2022), then Monrovia (2023), then Valletta (2024–2025).
Its 16,733 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.1 times the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 474.7 kg CO₂, 18% above the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 3,065 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 10.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (16,733 t) and the lowest 2020 (3,349 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 7 in 2018 to 52 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 749 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 52nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 7.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,204,654,809 tonne-miles over 35,253 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 57.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 183.4% while distance sailed rose 185.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
