BLUE BUTTERFLY against its type

It is one of 259 chemical tankers here under the Panama flag, 11.0% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2021–2025 all give PANAMA as port of registry.

Its 8,888 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 times the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 260.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 2,762 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 9.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (8,888 t) and the lowest 2021 (5,610 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 41 in 2020 to 26 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 54.9% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2021 to 2025, emissions rose 58.4% while distance sailed rose 63.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
