SANMAR SONATINA 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 40,975 gross tonnage it is smaller than 66% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 237 oil tankers here under the Singapore flag, 6.7% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 69 other vessels here, 17 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it SPOTTAIL for 2018–2020 and SANMAR SONATINA for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2019), then Majuro, Marshall Islands (2020), then SINGAPORE (2024).
Its 3,251 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 60% below the median of 8,196 t among the 1,808 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 289.3 kg CO₂, 29% below the type median of 408.2 kg. It logged 978 hours at sea against a median of 2,020 hours for its type that year. 2.5% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (6,406 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,339 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 59 in 2018 to 11 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 180 of 1,566 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 11th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 4.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 728,825,112 tonne-miles over 11,235 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 39.0% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2024, emissions fell 49.3% while distance sailed fell 44.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
