BIRDIE TRADER against its type
Built in 2016, it is 6 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 11,729 gross tonnage it is smaller than 74% 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 17 other vessels here, 14 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it BIRDIE TRADER for 2018–2024 and TG LIBRA for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Manila (2018–2024), then Monrovia (2025).
Its 2,887 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 48% below the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 203.4 kg CO₂, 19% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,355 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 5.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (5,657 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,058 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 32 in 2018 to 68 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 912 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 68th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 19.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 145,719,334 tonne-miles over 14,194 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 172.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 49.0% while distance sailed fell 44.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
