GINGA CARACAL against its type

Built in 2009, it is 1 year older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 16,222 gross tonnage it is smaller than 61% 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 same builder is recorded for 307 other vessels here, 98 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give PANAMA as port of registry.

Its 5,725 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 255.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,844 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 3.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (6,973 t) and the lowest 2024 (3,045 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 55 in 2018 to 44 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 590 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 44th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 13.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 431,111,446 tonne-miles over 22,373 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 11.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 88.0% while distance sailed rose 174.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 31.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
