BALTIC SOUL against its type
Built in 2001, it is 9 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 259 chemical tankers here under the Panama flag, 11.0% 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 SOUL for 2018–2021 and SUNFLYTE for 2023–2024. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2019–2021), then Panama (2023–2024).
Its 1,958 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 66% below the median of 5,830 t among the 1,451 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 547.4 kg CO₂, 2.2 times the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 306 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 20.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (10,716 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,253 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 85 in 2018 to 40 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 81.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 56.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 47.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
