ORION SEA against its type
It is one of 60 LNG carriers here under the Malta flag, 11.2% of the 538 on the register. The returns for 2022–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 37,158 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.7 times the median of 21,516 t among the 351 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 494.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 533.6 kg. It logged 5,148 hours at sea against a median of 2,940 hours for its type that year. 1.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 2.0%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (37,158 t) and the lowest 2023 (22,043 t). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
