CHEM BARCELONA 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 12,148 gross tonnage it is smaller than 67% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 402 chemical tankers here under the Liberia flag, 17.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2018–2024 all give MONROVIA as port of registry.
Its 7,527 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 36% 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 196.9 kg CO₂, 21% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 3,635 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 4.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (7,648 t) and the lowest 2021 (4,144 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 35 in 2018 to 47 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 642 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 14.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 537,635,714 tonne-miles over 38,227 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 68.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 26.9% while distance sailed rose 25.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
