CAPE BACTON against its type

Built in 2004, it is 6 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 25,108 gross tonnage it is larger than 58% 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. Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd. is linked to 43 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it CAPE BACTON for 2018–2022 and PM BACTON for 2023. The returns for 2018–2022 all give Majuro as port of registry.

Its 1,441 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 73% 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 550.7 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 226 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 48.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (10,970 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,441 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 51 in 2018 to 74 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2023 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 81.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 83.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 40.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
