KOKUKA GLORIOUS against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 19,349 gross tonnage it is smaller than 57% 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. Its MRV returns name it KOKUKA GLORIOUS for 2019 and SAKURA BELLE for 2020–2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 5,346 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 209.6 kg CO₂, 16% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 2,330 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 2.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (6,091 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,011 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2019 to 80 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,072 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 80th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 26.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 204,520,275 tonne-miles over 25,502 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 12.2% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 429.0% while distance sailed rose 514.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
