GREAT KAPPA against its type
Built in 2020, it is 10 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 30,237 gross tonnage it is larger than 94% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 474 chemical tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 20.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2020–2024 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 12,014 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 2.1 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 330.2 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 3,535 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 6.6% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (12,014 t) and the lowest 2020 (3,619 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 18 in both 2020 and 2024.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 217 of 1,194 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 18th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 9.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,246,306,017 tonne-miles over 36,383 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 232.0% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 9.3% while distance sailed rose 35.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 19.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
