CREOLE SUN against its type
Built in 2019, it is 9 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,987 gross tonnage it is larger 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 2021–2023 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 2,819 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 49% below the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 225.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,079 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 4.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (4,091 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,819 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 11 in 2021 to 45 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 606 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 45th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 13.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 210,064,084 tonne-miles over 12,509 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 31.1% lower than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 23.1% while distance sailed fell 27.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
