BASHUNDHARA MALIKA: CO₂ emissions 2018–2023

BASHUNDHARA MALIKA 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 30,024 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 4 chemical tankers here under the Bangladesh flag, 0.2% of the 2,344 on the register. Its MRV returns name it TORM CARINA for 2018–2020 and BASHUNDHARA MALIKA for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Copenhagen (2018–2020), then CHATTOGRAM (2023).

Its 3,653 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 32% 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 274.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 1,068 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 5.7% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (3,653 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,488 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 59 in 2019 to 35 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 433 of 1,230 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 35th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.6; this vessel reported 13.0.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 280,142,638 tonne-miles over 13,297 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 41.0% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2020 to 2023, emissions rose 46.8% while distance sailed rose 34.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 9.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
