SOUTHERN SHARK against its type
Built in 2018, it is 8 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 14,965 gross tonnage it is smaller than 93% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 718 oil tankers here under the Liberia flag, 20.2% of the 3,548 on the register. The returns for 2020–2025 all give MONROVIA as port of registry.
Its 2,853 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 64% below the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 242.6 kg CO₂, 40% below the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 915 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 8.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (11,016 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,107 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 54 in 2020 to 84 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,221 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 84th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 13.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 205,226,619 tonne-miles over 11,757 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 35.4% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 30.0% while distance sailed fell 37.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 12.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
