CHEMICAL CONTENDER against its type
Built in 2018, it is 8 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 9,350 gross tonnage it is smaller than 82% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 218 chemical tankers here under the Malta flag, 9.3% of the 2,344 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2023), then VALLETTA (2024–2025).
Its 8,310 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.5 times the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 201.2 kg CO₂, 20% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 4,136 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (8,474 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,552 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 40 in 2019 to 70 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 942 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 70th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 20.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 403,028,128 tonne-miles over 41,308 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 435.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 18.6% while distance sailed rose 6.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.9%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
