BOW EMMA against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 16,360 gross tonnage it is smaller than 61% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 402 chemical tankers here under the Liberia flag, 17.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 98 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it CHEMROUTE BRILLIANT for 2018, BOW EMMA for 2021 and TG GEMINI for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018), then Bergen (2021), then MONROVIA (2024).
Its 3,353 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 42% below the median of 5,830 t among the 1,451 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 302.0 kg CO₂, 19% above the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 811 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 4.8% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (4,784 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,854 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2018 to 59 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 709 of 1,194 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 59th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 18.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 181,333,694 tonne-miles over 11,103 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 29.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2024, emissions rose 17.5% while distance sailed rose 1.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 15.8%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
