NAVE POLARIS against its type
Built in 2011, it is 1 year newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 17,846 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 218 chemical tankers here under the Malta flag, 9.3% of the 2,344 on the register. Its MRV returns name it NAVE POLARIS for 2018–2021 and SONGA POLARIS for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2021), then Valletta (2023–2025).
Its 10,694 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.9 times the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 296.2 kg CO₂, 18% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 3,542 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 17.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (11,890 t) and the lowest 2020 (3,994 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 82 in 2018 to 80 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,086 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 80th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 27.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 396,091,482 tonne-miles over 36,106 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 138.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 10.1% while distance sailed fell 9.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
