STENA BLUE SKY against its type
Built in 2006, it is 8 years older than the median LNG carrier on this register, which was built in 2014 (396 vessels with a known build year). At 97,754 gross tonnage it is smaller than 82% of the other 377 LNG carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 2 LNG carriers here under the United Kingdom flag, 0.4% of the 538 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 109 of them LNG carriers. The returns for 2020–2023 all give Stranraer as port of registry.
Its 19,640 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 15% below the median of 22,978 t among the 367 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 854.7 kg CO₂, 31% above the type median of 650.5 kg. It logged 1,686 hours at sea against a median of 2,547 hours for its type that year. 4.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 2.1%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (57,855 t) and the lowest 2020 (15,601 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 66.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2023, emissions rose 25.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 25.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
