BALTIC CHIEF I against its type
Built in 2000, it is 10 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 23,235 gross tonnage it is larger than 50% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 402 chemical tankers here under the Liberia flag, 17.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 330 of them chemical tankers. Columbia Shipmanagement is linked to 42 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it BALTIC CHIEF I for 2018 and BELLA for 2019. The reported port of registry changed: Madeira (2018), then MONROVIA (2019).
Its 14,119 t of CO₂ for 2019 is 2.1 times the median of 6,823 t among the 1,352 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2019. Per nautical mile it emitted 476.1 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 279.2 kg. It logged 3,536 hours at sea against a median of 2,566 hours for its type that year. 15.5% of its 2019 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.3%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 75 in 2018 to 93 in 2019 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2019 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2019
Position 1,144 of 1,231 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 93rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.6; this vessel reported 42.9.
Across the 41 ranked vessels operated by Columbia Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 53. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 329,104,662 tonne-miles over 29,653 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2019 was 62.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2018 to 2019, emissions rose 62.4% while distance sailed rose 28.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 26.0%.
