TASSOS: CO₂ emissions 2018–2022

TASSOS against its type

Built in 2009, it is 1 year older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 83,562 gross tonnage it is larger than 81% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 793 oil tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 22.4% of the 3,548 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 34 other vessels here, 20 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2018–2022 all give Majuro as port of registry.

Its 17,942 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 2.5 times the median of 7,189 t among the 1,939 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 519.1 kg CO₂, 25% above the type median of 415.9 kg. It logged 3,332 hours at sea against a median of 1,731 hours for its type that year. 7.0% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 9.1%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (26,161 t) and the lowest 2019 (3,867 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2018 to 27 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2022 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2022

Position 482 of 1,771 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 27th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 8.0; this vessel reported 6.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,931,674,837 tonne-miles over 34,565 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 31.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2021 to 2022, emissions rose 21.9% while distance sailed rose 30.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
