KEREL against its type
Built in 2002, it is 8 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 23,232 gross tonnage it is larger than 50% 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 983 other vessels here, 330 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it KEREL for 2018–2021 and VITALITY for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2021), then Panama (2023).
Its 530 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 90% below the median of 5,393 t among the 1,411 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 338.7 kg CO₂, 31% above the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 129 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 13.7% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (13,627 t) and the lowest 2023 (530 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 74 in 2018 to 32 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 403 of 1,261 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 32nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.1; this vessel reported 13.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,049,012,317 tonne-miles over 52,172 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 90.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2023, emissions fell 96.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 29.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
