NORTHSEA ALPHA against its type
Built in 2010, it is the same age as the median chemical tanker on this register (build year 2010, 1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 5,256 gross tonnage it is smaller than 98% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 205 chemical tankers here under the Singapore flag, 8.7% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2018–2020 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 5,153 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 21% below the median of 6,525 t among the 1,371 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 175.2 kg CO₂, 35% below the type median of 269.8 kg. It logged 3,559 hours at sea against a median of 2,232 hours for its type that year. 19.9% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.1%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (5,701 t) and the lowest 2020 (5,153 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2018 to 98 in 2020 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 1,228 of 1,250 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 98th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.8; this vessel reported 60.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 84,919,248 tonne-miles over 29,410 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 9.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions fell 4.3% while distance sailed fell 1.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.0%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
