338 gas carrier (LPG) ships reported to THETIS-MRV for 2023, emitting 2.6 Mt of CO₂. Efficiency is measured as g CO₂/t·nm.
The segment at a glance
Operators
The 2023 public files do not name the companies managing each ship, so operator rankings start in 2024.
Efficiency by ship size
Bigger ships move a tonne of cargo for less fuel, so ships are compared within size bands. Each row is drawn against the segment median.
- Q1: ~1,544 t123 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q2: ~2,708 t72.9 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q3: ~6,244 t40.6 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q4: ~12 kt24 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q5: ~24 kt15.3 g CO₂/t·nm
Q1 to Q5 split the fleet into fifths by average cargo carried, derived from the published ratios.

Notes
- Medians and rankings use 330 full-year reports with fuel; part-year and zero-fuel reports count towards totals only.
- THETIS reports time at sea on EU-scope voyages only, not time in port. CO₂ at berth is the closest measure of port activity it publishes.
- Speed and distance are derived from the published ratios; THETIS has no distance column.
