BOW ARCHITECT against its type
Built in 2005, it is 5 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 18,405 gross tonnage it is smaller than 57% 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. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Bergen as port of registry.
Its 3,743 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 32% 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 250.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,290 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 6.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (11,236 t) and the lowest 2025 (3,743 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 75 in 2018 to 66 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 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 898 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 66th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 19.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 192,364,337 tonne-miles over 14,974 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 19.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 66.7% while distance sailed fell 61.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
