VALTAMED against its type
Built in 2004, it is 6 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 83,669 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 660 other vessels here, 159 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it VALTAMED for 2018–2021 and YELLOW TRADER for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2020–2021), then Majuro (2023–2025).
Its 19,260 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.4 times the median of 7,922 t among the 1,704 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 2,820.2 kg CO₂, 7.0 times the type median of 403.2 kg. It logged 3,109 hours at sea against a median of 2,030 hours for its type that year. 52.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (28,542 t) and the lowest 2023 (15,483 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 49 in 2020 to 100 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 32.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 3.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 70.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

This page draws on 7 MRV reporting years, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.
Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
