SONGA PEARL against its type
Built in 2008, it is 2 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 11,472 gross tonnage it is smaller than 95% 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 returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 10,583 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 34% above the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 334.8 kg CO₂, 17% below the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 3,113 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 22.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (25,752 t) and the lowest 2021 (9,885 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 90 in 2018 to 99 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,435 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 99th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 38.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 278,200,053 tonne-miles over 31,612 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 8.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 3.9% while distance sailed fell 7.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 12.2%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
