BOW FLORA against its type

Built in 1998, it is 12 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 23,206 gross tonnage it is smaller than 50% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 474 chemical tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 20.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 25 other vessels here, 20 of them chemical tankers. The reported port of registry changed: Bergen (2020–2021), then Majuro (2024–2025).

Its 2,902 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 48% below the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 262.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 895 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 8.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (9,226 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,712 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 19 in 2020 to 43 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 583 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 43rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 13.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 219,313,681 tonne-miles over 11,063 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 68.6% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 54.0% while distance sailed fell 49.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
