BALTIC FREEDOM 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 23,337 gross tonnage it is larger than 52% 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. Its MRV returns name it BALTIC FREEDOM for 2018–2022 and BALTIC STAR for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2022), then Monrovia (2025).
Its 11,885 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 2.0 times the median of 5,807 t among the 1,486 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 400.8 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 266.3 kg. It logged 3,490 hours at sea against a median of 1,995 hours for its type that year. 18.0% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.6%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (13,726 t) and the lowest 2019 (10,209 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2018 to 78 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2022 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 1,048 of 1,334 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 78th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.7; this vessel reported 25.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 462,638,770 tonne-miles over 29,651 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 4.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions rose 5.3% while distance sailed fell 1.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.7%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
