CHEMBULK ULSAN 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 11,534 gross tonnage it is smaller than 78% 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 76 other vessels here, 58 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it CHEMBULK ULSAN for 2019–2020 and G BRIGHT for 2021. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2019–2020), then JEJU (2021).
Its 1,793 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 70% below the median of 6,071 t among the 1,418 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 189.6 kg CO₂, 28% below the type median of 262.7 kg. It logged 738 hours at sea against a median of 2,112 hours for its type that year. 4.8% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.4%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (1,793 t) and the lowest 2020 (287 t).

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 780 of 1,261 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 62nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.1; this vessel reported 18.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 96,509,688 tonne-miles over 9,457 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 9.8% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions rose 525.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
