LINKEN against its type
Built in 2016, it is 6 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 12,138 gross tonnage it is smaller than 67% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 95 chemical tankers here under the Norway flag, 4.1% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 76 other vessels here, 58 of them chemical tankers. Anglo Eastern Shipmanagement Pte Ltd. is linked to 70 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it TRF KIRKENES for 2018–2023 and LINKEN for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2023), then Bergen (2024–2025).
Its 4,662 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 20% below the median of 5,830 t among the 1,451 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 267.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 1,987 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 10.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (6,531 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,734 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 48 in 2018 to 75 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 892 of 1,194 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 75th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 25.6.
Across the 58 ranked vessels operated by Anglo Eastern Shipmanagement Pte Ltd., the median percentile is 43. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 182,192,653 tonne-miles over 17,464 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 28.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 168.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
