BOCHEM BRUSSELS 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 12,136 gross tonnage it is smaller than 68% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 95 chemical tankers here under the Norway flag, 4.1% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 76 other vessels here, 58 of them chemical tankers. Anglo Eastern Shipmanagement Pte Ltd. is linked to 70 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it BTS SABINA for 2018, BOCHEM BRUSSELS for 2019–2023 and MELDERSKIN for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018), then Monrovia (2019–2023), then BERGEN (2024–2025).
Its 4,174 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 25% 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 190.5 kg CO₂, 24% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,955 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 6.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (4,174 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,825 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 35 in 2018 to 52 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 707 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 52nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 15.0.
Across the 58 ranked vessels operated by Anglo Eastern Shipmanagement Pte Ltd., the median percentile is 43. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 278,430,287 tonne-miles over 21,912 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 49.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 128.7% while distance sailed rose 159.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 11.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
