SAMSUN against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 62,775 gross tonnage it is larger than 61% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 289 oil tankers here under the Malta flag, 8.1% of the 3,548 on the register. Its MRV returns name it SIGNAL CHEETAH for 2018–2020 and PARAMOUNT for 2022. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2020), then MAJURO (2022).
Its 5,228 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 27% below the median of 7,189 t among the 1,939 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 588.0 kg CO₂, 41% above the type median of 415.9 kg. It logged 784 hours at sea against a median of 1,731 hours for its type that year. 4.5% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 9.1%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (10,409 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,909 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 75 in 2018 to 26 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2022 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 462 of 1,771 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 26th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 6.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 868,411,960 tonne-miles over 8,891 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 49.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2022, emissions rose 173.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 30.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
