NORDIC AMERICAS 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 11,924 gross tonnage it is smaller than 71% 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 NORDIC AMERICAS for 2018–2020 and ORCHID AMERICAS for 2021–2022. The returns for 2018–2022 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 1,453 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 75% 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 201.8 kg CO₂, 24% below the type median of 266.3 kg. It logged 666 hours at sea against a median of 1,995 hours for its type that year. 8.2% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.6%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (4,092 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,072 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 71 in 2018 to 46 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 617 of 1,334 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 46th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.7; this vessel reported 14.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 97,371,314 tonne-miles over 7,199 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 55.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions fell 53.5% while distance sailed fell 54.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
