PEARL LNG against its type
Built in 2020, it is 6 years newer than the median LNG carrier on this register, which was built in 2014 (396 vessels with a known build year). At 115,345 gross tonnage it is larger than 68% of the other 377 LNG carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 60 LNG carriers here under the Malta flag, 11.2% of the 538 on the register. The returns for 2021–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 20,666 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 21,516 t among the 351 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 435.8 kg CO₂, 18% below the type median of 533.6 kg. It logged 3,278 hours at sea against a median of 2,940 hours for its type that year. 1.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 2.0%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (23,857 t) and the lowest 2021 (4,429 t). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 366.6% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 84.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
