MERBABU 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 57,144 gross tonnage it is smaller than 55% 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 761 other vessels here, 193 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2019–2024 all give Valletta as port of registry.

Its 3,056 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 63% 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 503.4 kg CO₂, 23% above the type median of 408.2 kg. It logged 824 hours at sea against a median of 2,020 hours for its type that year. 16.6% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (18,113 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,279 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 49 in 2019 to 35 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 547 of 1,566 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 35th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 6.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 476,088,785 tonne-miles over 6,072 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 83.1% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 34.1% while distance sailed rose 35.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
