THE BLACKSMITH against its type
Built in 2013, it is 3 years newer than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 23,009 gross tonnage it is smaller than 91% 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 983 other vessels here, 270 of them oil tankers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 8,010 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 286.6 kg CO₂, 29% below the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 2,544 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 8.1% 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 (16,723 t) and the lowest 2021 (4,864 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 87 in 2018 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,325 of 1,448 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.5; this vessel reported 19.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 403,921,331 tonne-miles over 27,948 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 52.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 25.1% while distance sailed rose 24.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
