BALTIC WAVE against its type
Built in 2003, it is 7 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 474 chemical tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 20.2% 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 WAVE for 2018–2022 and BEKS TANGO for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2022), then Majuro (2023).
Its 2,829 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 48% below the median of 5,393 t among the 1,411 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 398.8 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 712 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 8.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (14,636 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,829 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 80 in 2018 to 30 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 368 of 1,230 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 30th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.6; this vessel reported 12.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 232,047,580 tonne-miles over 7,093 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 70.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 74.5% while distance sailed fell 76.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
