YARA KARA against its type
Built in 2016, it is 3 years newer than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 18,446 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 38 gas carriers here under the Norway flag, 5.5% of the 688 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 100 of them gas carriers. The reported port of registry changed: Olso (2018–2020), then Oslo (2021–2025).
Its 21,828 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.7 times the median of 5,974 t among the 363 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 240.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 256.2 kg. It logged 7,383 hours at sea against a median of 1,943 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 3.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (21,828 t) and the lowest 2022 (17,476 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 34 in 2018 to 58 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 171 of 292 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 58th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 27.9; this vessel reported 35.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 616,951,668 tonne-miles over 90,782 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 13.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 17.3% while distance sailed rose 15.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
