SAPPHIRE GAS against its type
Built in 2007, it is 6 years older than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 47,386 gross tonnage it is larger than 85% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 2 gas carriers here under the India flag, 0.3% of the 688 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 100 of them gas carriers.
Its 4,697 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 18% below the median of 5,725 t among the 326 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 427.6 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 278.9 kg. It logged 836 hours at sea against a median of 1,563 hours for its type that year. 5.5% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 5.0%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 8 in 2018 to 18 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2020 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 57 of 308 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 18th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 39.4; this vessel reported 17.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 263,156,863 tonne-miles over 10,986 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 14.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2020, emissions rose 14.1% while distance sailed rose 5.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.3%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
