CHAMPION EBONY 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 27,547 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 95 chemical tankers here under the Norway flag, 4.1% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 40 other vessels here, 29 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Bergen as port of registry.
Its 6,539 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 18% 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 309.2 kg CO₂, 24% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,969 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 7.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (8,473 t) and the lowest 2023 (844 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 13 in 2018 to 11 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 155 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 11th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 8.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 803,352,580 tonne-miles over 21,150 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 22.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 675.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 43.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
