PELAGIC TAIMEN: CO₂ emissions 2018–2023

PELAGIC TAIMEN against its type

Built in 2006, it is 4 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 30,053 gross tonnage it is larger than 91% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 402 chemical tankers here under the Liberia flag, 17.2% of the 2,344 on the register. Its MRV returns name it ARCTIC BREEZE for 2018–2021 and PELAGIC TAIMEN for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2021), then Monrovia (2023).

Its 5,923 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 5,393 t among the 1,411 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 324.4 kg CO₂, 26% above the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 1,567 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 6.7% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (16,880 t) and the lowest 2018 (3,204 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 6 in 2018 to 14 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 174 of 1,230 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 14th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.6; this vessel reported 9.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 615,043,614 tonne-miles over 18,258 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 84.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2021 to 2023, emissions fell 37.6% while distance sailed fell 38.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2023, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 5 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
