ARGENT ASTER against its type
Built in 2007, it is 3 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 20,267 gross tonnage it is smaller than 55% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 259 chemical tankers here under the Panama flag, 11.0% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 98 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2018–2019 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 3,062 t of CO₂ for 2019 is 55% below the median of 6,823 t among the 1,352 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2019. Per nautical mile it emitted 292.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 279.2 kg. It logged 771 hours at sea against a median of 2,566 hours for its type that year. 4.3% of its 2019 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.3%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2018 to 32 in 2019 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2019
Position 395 of 1,231 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 32nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.6; this vessel reported 13.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 231,807,721 tonne-miles over 10,479 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2019 was 26.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2018 to 2019, emissions fell 26.3% while distance sailed fell 19.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
Where the 2019 emissions occurred
