BOW CLIPPER against its type
Built in 1995, it is 15 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 23,197 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 2 other vessels here, one of them a chemical tanker. The reported port of registry changed: Bergen (2018–2019), then Majuro (2022–2023).
Its 8,676 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 1.6 times the median of 5,393 t among the 1,411 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 292.5 kg CO₂, 13% above the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 2,444 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 5.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (9,152 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,795 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 30 in 2018 to 22 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 269 of 1,230 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 22nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.6; this vessel reported 10.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 806,333,643 tonne-miles over 29,660 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 53.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 210.4% while distance sailed rose 280.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 18.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
