BOW SUMMER against its type

Built in 2005, it is 5 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,965 gross tonnage it is larger than 87% 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 80 other vessels here, 7 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Bergen as port of registry.

Its 7,709 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 39% above the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 331.9 kg CO₂, 33% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,767 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 7.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (19,923 t) and the lowest 2023 (6,194 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 23 in 2018 to 49 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 663 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 49th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 14.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 539,832,633 tonne-miles over 23,227 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 28.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 31.2% while distance sailed fell 33.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2025 emissions occurred
