CHEMICAL EXPLORER 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 7,997 gross tonnage it is smaller than 88% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 259 chemical tankers here under the Panama flag, 11.0% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 10,816 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 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 186.1 kg CO₂, 26% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 5,880 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 5.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (11,172 t) and the lowest 2018 (5,735 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 71 in 2018 to 81 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.
