BOW EXCELLENCE against its type
Built in 2020, it is 10 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,627 gross tonnage it is larger than 78% 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 204 other vessels here, 11 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2020–2024 all give Bergen as port of registry.
Its 2,330 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 60% 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 362.2 kg CO₂, 43% above the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 471 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 9.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (8,271 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,760 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 21 in 2020 to 76 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 905 of 1,194 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 76th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 26.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 88,736,862 tonne-miles over 6,433 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 22.7% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 71.8% while distance sailed fell 74.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
