LAVELA against its type
It is one of 218 chemical tankers here under the Malta flag, 9.3% of the 2,344 on the register. Its MRV returns name it LAVELA for 2018 and RED OPAL for 2019–2025. The reported port of registry changed: DOUGLAS (2018), then Valletta (2019–2025).
Its 10,866 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 times the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 333.5 kg CO₂, 33% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 4,221 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 14.9% 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 (15,953 t) and the lowest 2018 (5,878 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 34 in 2018 to 78 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
