MS SIMON against its type
Built in 2004, it is 6 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 25,400 gross tonnage it is smaller than 87% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 718 oil tankers here under the Liberia flag, 20.2% of the 3,548 on the register. The returns for 2018–2020 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 12,374 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 42% above the median of 8,732 t among the 1,884 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 293.1 kg CO₂, 31% below the type median of 424.6 kg. It logged 4,219 hours at sea against a median of 1,939 hours for its type that year. 13.2% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.6%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (17,059 t) and the lowest 2019 (6,931 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 84 in 2018 to 80 in 2020 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 1,373 of 1,708 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 80th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.7; this vessel reported 14.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 830,452,349 tonne-miles over 42,222 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 27.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions rose 78.5% while distance sailed rose 151.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 28.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
