ELKA ATHINA 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 59,486 gross tonnage it is larger than 100% 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. The same builder is recorded for 56 other vessels here, 10 of them chemical tankers. The reported port of registry changed: Piraeus (2018–2019), then Monrovia (2021–2024).
Its 5,546 t of CO₂ for 2024 is close to the median of 5,830 t among the 1,451 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 530.6 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 950 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 7.7% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (27,099 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,710 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 37 in 2018 to 25 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 296 of 1,194 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 25th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 10.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 514,491,651 tonne-miles over 10,453 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 79.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 175.2% while distance sailed rose 202.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
