BOCHEM GHENT against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 19,968 gross tonnage it is smaller than 56% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 65 chemical tankers here under the Hong Kong flag, 2.8% 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 2018–2025 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 4,640 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 16% below the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 289.7 kg CO₂, 16% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,210 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 7.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (9,534 t) and the lowest 2024 (3,783 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 67 in 2018 to 40 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 541 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 40th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 12.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 366,232,834 tonne-miles over 16,019 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 48.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 22.6% while distance sailed rose 3.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 19.0%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
