BLACK ROCK against its type
Built in 1998, it is 12 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 7 chemical tankers here under the Bermuda flag, 0.3% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 80 other vessels here, 2 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2018–2020 all give Hamilton as port of registry.
Its 8,845 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 36% above the median of 6,525 t among the 1,371 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 190.5 kg CO₂, 29% below the type median of 269.8 kg. It logged 4,033 hours at sea against a median of 2,232 hours for its type that year. 18.6% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.1%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (8,845 t) and the lowest 2018 (6,870 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 83 in 2018 to 88 in 2020 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 1,096 of 1,250 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 88th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.8; this vessel reported 35.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 250,485,981 tonne-miles over 46,421 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 28.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions rose 9.9% while distance sailed rose 8.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
