MT LEOPARD against its type

Built in 2010, it is the same age as the median oil tanker on this register (build year 2010, 2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 28,798 gross tonnage it is smaller than 81% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 793 oil tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 22.4% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 114 other vessels here, 20 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it MT LEOPARD for 2019–2020 and SALSA for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2019–2020), then Majuro (2024).

Its 10,089 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 16% 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 300.9 kg CO₂, 29% below the type median of 424.6 kg. It logged 2,969 hours at sea against a median of 1,939 hours for its type that year. 8.9% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.6%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2019 to 70 in 2020 (lower is more efficient).

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2020

Position 1,188 of 1,708 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 70th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.7; this vessel reported 11.7.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 865,287,307 tonne-miles over 33,535 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 66.4% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2019 to 2020, emissions rose 66.4% while distance sailed rose 59.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2020 emissions occurred

Laden voyages2020

CO₂ on laden voyages: 7,868 t, 78% of total
Fuel, laden: 2,481 t
