TANKER SPIRIT against its type
Built in 2006, it is 4 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 22,184 gross tonnage it is smaller than 91% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 40 oil tankers here under the Isle of Man flag, 1.1% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 146 other vessels here, 55 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it TANKER SPIRIT for 2018–2019 and VS SPIRIT for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Nassau (2018–2019), then Douglas (2020–2025).
Its 7,493 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 263.5 kg CO₂, 35% below the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 3,386 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 4.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (10,393 t) and the lowest 2022 (6,986 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 84 in 2018 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
