RED SUN against its type
Built in 2008, it is 2 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 59,177 gross tonnage it is smaller than 50% 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, 28 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2021–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 14,835 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 1.8 times the median of 8,196 t among the 1,808 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 389.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 408.2 kg. It logged 3,537 hours at sea against a median of 2,020 hours for its type that year. 5.4% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (20,484 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,768 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 20 in 2021 to 46 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 721 of 1,566 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 46th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 7.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,040,616,231 tonne-miles over 38,109 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 435.9% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 27.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 22.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
