PRABHU LAL against its type
Built in 2008, it is 2 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 11,751 gross tonnage it is smaller than 73% 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 same builder is recorded for 52 other vessels here, 48 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it CHEM POLARIS for 2018–2022 and PRABHU LAL for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2022), then Singapore (2023–2025).
Its 5,047 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 226.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 2,364 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 2.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (9,431 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,066 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 48 in 2018 to 47 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 638 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 14.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 360,994,278 tonne-miles over 22,330 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 41.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 144.3% while distance sailed rose 86.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 31.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
