SAKHARA LOTUS against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 19,572 gross tonnage it is smaller than 56% 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 returns for 2018–2025 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 12,705 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.3 times the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 232.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 4,672 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 9.5% 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 (21,452 t) and the lowest 2022 (8,662 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 52 in 2018 to 58 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 783 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 58th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 16.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 772,829,684 tonne-miles over 54,618 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 40.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 20.3% while distance sailed rose 27.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
