FORTITUDE 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 12,105 gross tonnage it is smaller than 68% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 15 chemical tankers here under the South Korea flag, 0.6% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 98 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it FORTITUDE for 2022 and YC AZALEA for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: MAJURO (2022), then Jeju (2025).
Its 3,184 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 42% below the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 238.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 2,242 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 2.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 74 in 2022 to 68 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 915 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 68th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 19.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 159,574,436 tonne-miles over 13,352 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 11.3% higher than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions rose 11.3% while distance sailed fell 0.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.6%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
