VEGA STAR against its type
Built in 2017, it is 4 years newer than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 46,250 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 59 gas carriers here under the Malta flag, 8.6% of the 688 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 461 other vessels here, 17 of them gas carriers. The returns for 2020–2021 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 3,819 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 32% below the median of 5,641 t among the 329 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 412.9 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 265.7 kg. It logged 606 hours at sea against a median of 1,780 hours for its type that year. 11.8% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 4.9%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 9 in 2020 to 20 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2021 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
