BOW ELM 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 26,327 gross tonnage it is larger than 61% 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 reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2019–2021), then Bergen (2022–2025).
Its 11,009 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 times the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 319.8 kg CO₂, 28% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 2,958 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 5.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (11,009 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,145 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 56 in 2019 to 39 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 528 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 39th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 12.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 880,748,000 tonne-miles over 34,427 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 33.1% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 413.4% while distance sailed rose 533.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 18.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
