GINGA COUGAR against its type

Built in 2005, it is 5 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 16,232 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 2,589 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 53% below the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 293.3 kg CO₂, 17% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 731 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 14.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (7,849 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,233 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 37 in 2018 to 67 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 908 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 67th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 19.7.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 131,469,274 tonne-miles over 8,826 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 67.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 11.3% while distance sailed fell 4.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 15.9%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
