ADFINES SEA against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 13,239 gross tonnage it is smaller than 64% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 474 chemical tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 20.2% of the 2,344 on the register. Its MRV returns name it ADFINES SEA for 2018–2019 and NORTHERN SPIRIT for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2019), then Majuro (2020–2025).
Its 17,006 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.1 times the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 242.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 6,273 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 1.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (25,350 t) and the lowest 2023 (8,982 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 72 in 2018 to 88 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,190 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 88th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 35.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 483,817,639 tonne-miles over 70,088 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 24.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 5.8% while distance sailed rose 6.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
