SAPPHIRE against its type
Built in 1997, it is 13 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 9,914 gross tonnage it is smaller than 82% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 43 chemical tankers here under the Italy flag, 1.8% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2018–2020 all give Ancona as port of registry.
Its 10,564 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 1.6 times the median of 6,525 t among the 1,371 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 258.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 269.8 kg. It logged 3,889 hours at sea against a median of 2,232 hours for its type that year. 8.4% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.1%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (12,095 t) and the lowest 2020 (10,564 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 88 in 2018 to 89 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2020 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 1,111 of 1,250 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 89th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.8; this vessel reported 36.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 289,191,623 tonne-miles over 40,818 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 12.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions fell 10.4% while distance sailed fell 11.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
