BOW CECIL against its type
Built in 1998, it is 12 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 23,230 gross tonnage it is smaller than 50% 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 25 other vessels here, 20 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Bergen as port of registry.
Its 1,982 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 64% 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 344.9 kg CO₂, 38% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 465 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 9.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (6,183 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,982 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 40 in 2018 to 18 in 2024 (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.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 41.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 67.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 25.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
