ARCTIC BAY against its type
Built in 2006, it is 4 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 30,053 gross tonnage it is larger than 91% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 218 chemical tankers here under the Malta flag, 9.3% of the 2,344 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Valleta (2018), then Valletta (2019–2021).
Its 10,428 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 1.7 times the median of 6,071 t among the 1,418 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 307.3 kg CO₂, 17% above the type median of 262.7 kg. It logged 3,249 hours at sea against a median of 2,112 hours for its type that year. 13.1% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.4%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (14,058 t) and the lowest 2019 (6,986 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 54 in 2018 to 44 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2021 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 553 of 1,261 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 44th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.1; this vessel reported 14.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 697,497,659 tonne-miles over 33,934 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 25.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2019 to 2021, emissions rose 49.3% while distance sailed rose 84.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 19.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
