ORIENTAL HIBISCUS against its type

Built in 2021, it is 11 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 9,866 gross tonnage it is smaller than 82% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 259 chemical tankers here under the Panama flag, 11.0% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 52 other vessels here, 48 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2021–2024 all give PANAMA as port of registry.

Its 6,022 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 165.9 kg CO₂, 34% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 3,287 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 7.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (8,481 t) and the lowest 2021 (931 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 65 in 2022 to 58 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
