MTM COLORADO against its type

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 MTM COLORADO for 2019–2023 and OCEAN THALIA for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2019–2023), then Panama (2024).

Its 6,518 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 12% above the median of 5,830 t among the 1,451 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 350.9 kg CO₂, 38% above the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 1,640 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 4.5% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (8,684 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,221 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 64 in 2019 to 29 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 342 of 1,194 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 29th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 11.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 575,780,919 tonne-miles over 18,573 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 67.3% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 102.4% while distance sailed rose 83.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 10.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
