CAPELLA against its type
Built in 2003, it is 7 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 20,058 gross tonnage it is smaller than 55% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 5 chemical tankers here under the Vietnam flag, 0.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 98 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it CHEMBULK HONGKONG for 2018, CHEMBULK HONG KONG for 2020 and CAPELLA for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2020), then Sai Gon (2025).
Its 2,119 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 62% below the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 284.4 kg CO₂, 14% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 649 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 3.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (10,736 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,119 t). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 80.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2025, emissions fell 12.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
