MINERVA NOUNOU against its type
Built in 2006, it is 4 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 63,619 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% 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 660 other vessels here, 159 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 3,857 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 51% below the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 501.4 kg CO₂, 24% above the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 1,158 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 4.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (24,430 t) and the lowest 2025 (3,857 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 72 in 2018 to 38 in 2025 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 545 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 38th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 6.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 587,056,317 tonne-miles over 7,693 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 74.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 69.8% while distance sailed fell 68.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
