NCC MESSILA against its type
Built in 2012, it is 2 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,279 gross tonnage it is larger than 70% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 474 chemical tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 20.2% of the 2,344 on the register. Its MRV returns name it UACC MESSILA for 2018–2020 and NCC MESSILA for 2021–2023. The returns for 2018–2023 all give MAJURO as port of registry.
Its 2,472 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 54% below the median of 5,393 t among the 1,411 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 328.1 kg CO₂, 27% above the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 700 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 0.2% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (8,692 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,199 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 44 in 2019 to 25 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 308 of 1,230 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 25th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.6; this vessel reported 11.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 218,939,770 tonne-miles over 7,535 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 12.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 61.1% while distance sailed fell 48.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 25.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
