MERIDIAN EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2013, it is 3 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,289 gross tonnage it is larger than 71% 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 same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 330 of them chemical tankers. Anglo Eastern Shipmanagement Pte Ltd. is linked to 70 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2022 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 10,274 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 1.7 times the median of 6,071 t among the 1,418 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 334.3 kg CO₂, 27% above the type median of 262.7 kg. It logged 2,853 hours at sea against a median of 2,112 hours for its type that year. 11.8% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.4%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (10,274 t) and the lowest 2018 (4,225 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 20 in 2018 to 38 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2022: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 483 of 1,261 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 38th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.1; this vessel reported 14.0.
Across the 58 ranked vessels operated by Anglo Eastern Shipmanagement Pte Ltd., the median percentile is 43. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 733,831,429 tonne-miles over 30,730 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 143.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions rose 27.5% while distance sailed rose 15.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 10.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
