CHEM SPICA against its type
Built in 2017, it is 7 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 15,717 gross tonnage it is smaller than 62% 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. Its MRV returns name it NAVIG8 SPICA for 2018–2020, HAFNIA SPICA for 2021 and CHEM SPICA for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2025).
Its 7,925 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 43% 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 250.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 2,571 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 13.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (10,641 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,687 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2018 to 52 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 699 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 52nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 14.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 533,656,566 tonne-miles over 31,703 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 194.9% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 25.5% while distance sailed fell 20.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
