PACIFIC ZIRCON against its type
Built in 2013, it is 3 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 28,426 gross tonnage it is smaller than 82% 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 same builder is recorded for 103 other vessels here, 61 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2021–2023 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 5,435 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 27% below the median of 7,491 t among the 1,850 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 323.4 kg CO₂, 21% below the type median of 408.5 kg. It logged 1,483 hours at sea against a median of 1,807 hours for its type that year. 9.5% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.4%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (5,435 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,925 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2021 to 67 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,086 of 1,615 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 67th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 10.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 545,167,502 tonne-miles over 16,808 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 5.2% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 85.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
