MINERVA JOY 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 28,056 gross tonnage it is smaller than 84% 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 307 other vessels here, 48 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 7,455 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 303.8 kg CO₂, 25% below the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 3,958 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 4.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (10,271 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,962 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 80 in 2018 to 81 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,178 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 81st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 12.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 606,076,423 tonne-miles over 24,541 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 151.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 11.3% while distance sailed rose 31.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 15.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
