ELKA NIKOLAS against its type
Built in 2001, it is 9 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 27,542 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% 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 returns for 2018–2020 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 9,796 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 1.5 times the median of 6,525 t among the 1,371 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 353.1 kg CO₂, 31% above the type median of 269.8 kg. It logged 2,672 hours at sea against a median of 2,232 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.1%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (9,796 t) and the lowest 2019 (2,260 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 69 in 2018 to 73 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2020 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 912 of 1,250 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 73rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.8; this vessel reported 22.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 435,759,786 tonne-miles over 27,742 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 32.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions rose 333.4% while distance sailed rose 263.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 19.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
