SIGMAGAS against its type
Built in 1998, it is 15 years older than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 6,051 gross tonnage it is smaller than 92% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 2 gas carriers here under the Palau flag, 0.3% of the 688 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 100 of them gas carriers. Sloman Neptun Schiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft is linked to 8 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it SIGMAGAS for 2018–2020, SIGMAGAS (SIGMAGAS) for 2021–2022 and GAS CATALINA for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Saint John's (2018–2020), then Saint John's (AG SJO) (2021–2022), then Malakal Harbor (2025).
Its 5,891 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 11% below the median of 6,608 t among the 355 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 186.7 kg CO₂, 33% below the type median of 279.0 kg. It logged 2,585 hours at sea against a median of 1,992 hours for its type that year. 6.4% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 5.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (5,891 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,858 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 64 in 2018 to 69 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2022 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 217 of 316 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 69th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 38.5; this vessel reported 59.0.
Across the 8 ranked vessels operated by Sloman Neptun Schiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft, the median percentile is 87. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 99,844,915 tonne-miles over 31,559 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 217.0% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions rose 43.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
