SEA HERMES 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 28,150 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. Its MRV returns name it SEA HERMES for 2019–2020 and SEA HERMES I for 2021–2023. The reported port of registry changed: Valetta (2019–2020), then Majuro (2021–2023).

Its 6,930 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 7,491 t among the 1,850 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 332.8 kg CO₂, 19% below the type median of 408.5 kg. It logged 1,706 hours at sea against a median of 1,807 hours for its type that year. 13.3% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 8.4%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (13,128 t) and the lowest 2022 (470 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 70 in 2019 to 86 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 1,382 of 1,615 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 86th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 15.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 459,212,724 tonne-miles over 20,824 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 184.6% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 1,375.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 13.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Where the 2023 emissions occurred

Laden voyages2023

CO₂ on laden voyages: 3,531 t, 51% of total
Fuel, laden: 1,126 t
CO₂ per nm, laden: 282.6 kg

The rest of the 2023 total was emitted on ballast legs or at berth.
