BOCHEM CHENNAI against its type
Built in 2012, it is 2 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 11,707 gross tonnage it is smaller than 75% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 259 chemical tankers here under the Panama flag, 11.0% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 76 other vessels here, 58 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2018–2021 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 6,833 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 13% above the median of 6,071 t among the 1,418 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 255.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 262.7 kg. It logged 1,952 hours at sea against a median of 2,112 hours for its type that year. 8.2% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.4%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (10,598 t) and the lowest 2021 (6,833 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 73 in 2018 to 83 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 1,043 of 1,261 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 83rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.1; this vessel reported 30.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 226,854,914 tonne-miles over 26,788 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 35.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 26.9% while distance sailed fell 30.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 5.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
