CAJUN SUN against its type
Built in 2016, it is 6 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 30,565 gross tonnage it is larger than 96% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 48 chemical tankers here under the Cayman Islands flag, 2.0% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2020–2023 all give GEORGE TOWN as port of registry.
Its 1,576 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 71% below the median of 5,393 t among the 1,411 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 257.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 490 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 4.9% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (6,675 t) and the lowest 2021 (311 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 2 in both 2020 and 2023. The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 21 of 1,230 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 2nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.6; this vessel reported 6.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 231,358,297 tonne-miles over 6,131 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 1.3% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 76.4% while distance sailed fell 75.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
