ORIENTAL LOTUS 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 8,260 gross tonnage it is smaller than 87% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 30 chemical tankers here under the Bahamas flag, 1.3% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 24 other vessels here, 16 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it ORIENTAL LOTUS for 2018–2022 and TRANS TIND for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: GEORGE TOWN (2018–2022), then Nassau (2023–2025).
Its 8,242 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 49% 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 193.1 kg CO₂, 23% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 3,345 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 8.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (11,043 t) and the lowest 2020 (5,126 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 95 in 2018 to 78 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
