NORDIC STAR against its type
Built in 2016, it is 6 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 81,718 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 18 oil tankers here under the Cayman Islands flag, 0.5% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 196 other vessels here, 75 of them oil tankers. Columbia Shipmanagement is linked to 42 vessels on this register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give George Town as port of registry.
Its 12,284 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 times the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 483.7 kg CO₂, 20% above the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 2,480 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 15.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (25,197 t) and the lowest 2022 (8,453 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 9 in 2019 to 24 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 346 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 24th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 5.5.
Across the 41 ranked vessels operated by Columbia Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 53. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,217,335,740 tonne-miles over 25,397 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 43.8% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 51.1% while distance sailed fell 60.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 22.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
