BIXBITE against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 25,400 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 218 chemical tankers here under the Malta flag, 9.3% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 13,440 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.4 times the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 375.1 kg CO₂, 50% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 3,415 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 15.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (13,801 t) and the lowest 2021 (5,892 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 79 in both 2019 and 2025. Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,070 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 79th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 26.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 516,147,465 tonne-miles over 35,836 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 4.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 0.6% while distance sailed rose 0.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.7%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
