NORDIC against its type
Built in 2008, it is 2 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 8,198 gross tonnage it is smaller than 88% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 93 chemical tankers here under the Denmark flag, 4.0% of the 2,344 on the register. Its MRV returns name it SWAN BISCAY for 2018, NORSTAR BISCAY for 2019 and NORDIC for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: MAJURO (2018–2019), then Aalborg (2020–2025).
Its 7,997 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 45% above the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 210.0 kg CO₂, 16% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 3,966 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 10.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (10,602 t) and the lowest 2019 (844 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 97 in 2018 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,244 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 39.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 204,899,052 tonne-miles over 38,080 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 26.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 20.2% while distance sailed fell 13.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
