GOLDEN RAY against its type
Built in 2012, it is 2 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 11,733 gross tonnage it is smaller than 73% 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 2018–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 9,658 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 1.7 times the median of 5,830 t among the 1,451 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 234.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 3,799 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 13.2% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (9,658 t) and the lowest 2023 (7,522 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 63 in 2018 to 60 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 720 of 1,194 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 60th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 18.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 513,442,850 tonne-miles over 41,211 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 25.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 28.4% while distance sailed rose 5.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 21.7%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
