KIRKEHOLMEN against its type
Built in 2010, it is the same age as the median chemical tanker on this register (build year 2010, 1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 11,908 gross tonnage it is smaller than 72% 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 returns for 2019–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 6,987 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 26% above the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 259.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 2,696 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 9.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (9,442 t) and the lowest 2019 (3,407 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 78 in 2019 to 91 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 8 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,227 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 91st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 37.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 184,490,098 tonne-miles over 26,913 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 105.1% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 17.1% while distance sailed fell 5.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.5%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
