PYXIS EPSILON against its type
Built in 2015, it is 5 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,705 gross tonnage it is larger than 81% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 218 chemical tankers here under the Malta flag, 9.3% of the 2,344 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2019), then Majuro (2020–2022).
Its 1,335 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 77% below the median of 5,807 t among the 1,486 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 258.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 266.3 kg. It logged 472 hours at sea against a median of 1,995 hours for its type that year. 5.3% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.6%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (8,066 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,335 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 7 in 2018 to 34 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2022 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 450 of 1,334 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 34th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.7; this vessel reported 12.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 105,631,329 tonne-miles over 5,160 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 75.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions fell 81.1% while distance sailed fell 81.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
