BRITISH ALTUS against its type
Built in 2017, it is 7 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 27,659 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% 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. Its MRV returns name it BRITISH ALTUS for 2018–2019, MAERSK ALTUS for 2020 and SEA ALTUS for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Douglas (2018–2019), then Svendbourg (2020), then Majuro (2022–2025).
Its 11,040 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 times the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 346.8 kg CO₂, 39% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 4,196 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 17.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (15,284 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,594 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 52 in 2018 to 69 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 935 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 69th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 20.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 541,438,941 tonne-miles over 31,836 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 23.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 14.6% while distance sailed fell 2.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 17.6%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
