BOW ENGINEER against its type

Built in 2006, it is 4 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 2018–2024 all give Bergen as port of registry.

Its 8,955 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 1.5 times the median of 5,830 t among the 1,451 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 228.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 3,400 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 4.7% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (11,212 t) and the lowest 2020 (4,869 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2018 to 37 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 445 of 1,194 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 37th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 12.9.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 694,179,070 tonne-miles over 39,156 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 9.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2024, emissions rose 15.2% while distance sailed rose 35.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2024 emissions occurred
