MTM POTOMAC against its type
Built in 2004, it is 6 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 30,095 gross tonnage it is larger than 92% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 205 chemical tankers here under the Singapore flag, 8.7% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2019–2022 all give Singapore as port of registry.
Its 2,890 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 50% below the median of 5,807 t among the 1,486 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 328.0 kg CO₂, 23% above the type median of 266.3 kg. It logged 793 hours at sea against a median of 1,995 hours for its type that year. 6.1% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.6%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (8,083 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,890 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2019 to 60 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2022 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 807 of 1,334 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 60th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.7; this vessel reported 18.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 157,815,401 tonne-miles over 8,810 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 64.3% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions fell 63.6% while distance sailed fell 65.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
