NORD PEARL against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 30,006 gross tonnage it is larger than 89% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 27 chemical tankers here under the Cyprus flag, 1.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 180 other vessels here, 53 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it NORD PEARL for 2018–2019 and VIRGEN DEL CISNE for 2020. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018–2019), then Limassol (2020).
Its 8,024 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 23% above the median of 6,525 t among the 1,371 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 359.1 kg CO₂, 33% above the type median of 269.8 kg. It logged 3,169 hours at sea against a median of 2,232 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.1%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (8,286 t) and the lowest 2018 (6,546 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 28 in 2018 to 30 in 2020 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 371 of 1,250 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 30th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.8; this vessel reported 12.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 642,421,938 tonne-miles over 22,346 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 22.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions fell 3.2% while distance sailed fell 6.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
