ELKA BENE against its type
Built in 2002, it is 8 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 30,770 gross tonnage it is larger than 97% 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 returns for 2018–2021 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 9,951 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 1.6 times the median of 6,071 t among the 1,418 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 378.8 kg CO₂, 44% above the type median of 262.7 kg. It logged 2,216 hours at sea against a median of 2,112 hours for its type that year. 3.1% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.4%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (13,030 t) and the lowest 2019 (5,610 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 71 in 2018 to 68 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2021 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
