SEA HELIOS against its type
Built in 2004, it is 6 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 28,069 gross tonnage it is smaller than 83% 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. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 48 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 4,356 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 42% below the median of 7,491 t among the 1,850 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 341.8 kg CO₂, 16% below the type median of 408.5 kg. It logged 1,057 hours at sea against a median of 1,807 hours for its type that year. 16.6% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.4%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (13,473 t) and the lowest 2023 (4,356 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 84 in 2018 to 90 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,449 of 1,615 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 90th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 18.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 230,979,852 tonne-miles over 12,745 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 49.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 59.1% while distance sailed fell 64.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
