ICHESIA M 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 25,864 gross tonnage it is larger than 61% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 43 chemical tankers here under the Italy flag, 1.8% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 21 other vessels here, 5 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it NORIENT SCORPIUS for 2018–2019 and ICHESIA M for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2019), then La Valletta (2020), then Catania (2021–2025).
Its 13,114 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.4 times the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 371.4 kg CO₂, 48% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 4,635 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 15.3% 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 (19,215 t) and the lowest 2018 (11,965 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 68 in 2018 to 75 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 1,017 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 75th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 23.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 561,859,897 tonne-miles over 35,307 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 9.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 13.4% while distance sailed rose 2.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 15.8%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
