BULL SHARK against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,293 gross tonnage it is larger than 71% 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 983 other vessels here, 330 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it NORD MINUTE for 2018–2023, BULL SHARK for 2024 and ISLEMAN for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018), then COPENHAGEN (2020), then Hong Kong (2023), then Majuro (2024–2025).
Its 7,180 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 30% above the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 277.3 kg CO₂, 11% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 2,183 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 7.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (7,180 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,944 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 14 in 2018 to 12 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 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 161 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 12th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 8.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 876,625,153 tonne-miles over 25,894 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 26.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 269.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 21.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
