BLADE GALAXY against its type
Built in 2014, it is 4 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 11,752 gross tonnage it is smaller than 73% 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. Its MRV returns name it FAIRCHEM BLADE for 2018–2023 and BLADE GALAXY for 2024–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 6,652 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 20% above the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 193.6 kg CO₂, 23% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 2,878 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 6.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (6,844 t) and the lowest 2021 (3,738 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2018 to 67 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 902 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 67th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 19.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 339,389,796 tonne-miles over 34,358 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 2.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 70.7% while distance sailed rose 96.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
