MELATI 6 against its type
Built in 2000, it is 10 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 22,116 gross tonnage it is smaller than 53% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 65 chemical tankers here under the Hong Kong flag, 2.8% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 330 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2021–2025 all give HONG KONG as port of registry.
Its 5,842 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 304.2 kg CO₂, 22% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,889 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 4.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (11,515 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,679 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 63 in 2021 to 45 in 2025 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 611 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 45th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 13.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 433,708,240 tonne-miles over 19,202 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 21.2% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 49.3% while distance sailed fell 37.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 18.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
