VELOS FORZA against its type
Built in 2010, it is the same age as the median oil tanker on this register (build year 2010, 2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 28,777 gross tonnage it is smaller 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 114 other vessels here, 20 of them oil tankers. Its MRV returns name it BRIGHT FORTUNE for 2018–2020 and VELOS FORZA for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018–2020), then Majuro (2024).
Its 1,991 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 76% below the median of 8,196 t among the 1,808 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 355.2 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 408.2 kg. It logged 539 hours at sea against a median of 2,020 hours for its type that year. 7.2% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (8,385 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,991 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 45 in 2018 to 74 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,167 of 1,566 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 10.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 194,424,805 tonne-miles over 5,605 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 52.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2024, emissions fell 76.3% while distance sailed fell 80.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 19.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
