ORION SUN 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 2022–2024 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 11,171 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 29% below the median of 15,704 t among the 348 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 468.1 kg CO₂, 15% below the type median of 552.7 kg. It logged 1,750 hours at sea against a median of 2,215 hours for its type that year. 1.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 1.6%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (11,566 t) and the lowest 2023 (9,267 t).
