SONANGOL BENGUELA against its type
Built in 2011, it is 3 years older than the median LNG carrier on this register, which was built in 2014 (396 vessels with a known build year). At 104,537 gross tonnage it is smaller than 63% of the other 377 LNG carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 63 LNG carriers here under the Bahamas flag, 11.7% of the 538 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 109 of them LNG carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.
Its 37,491 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.7 times the median of 21,516 t among the 351 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 824.0 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 533.6 kg. It logged 3,679 hours at sea against a median of 2,940 hours for its type that year. 2.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 2.0%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (61,128 t) and the lowest 2020 (7,704 t). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 108.0% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 36.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
