BOW ODYSSEY against its type
Built in 2019, it is 9 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,000 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% 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 2,866 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 51% 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 317.6 kg CO₂, 25% above the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 690 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 6.7% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (6,323 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,559 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 7 in 2020 to 22 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 261 of 1,194 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 22nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 10.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 281,850,541 tonne-miles over 9,024 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 33.9% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2024, emissions rose 83.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
