SEA ELEPHANT against its type

Built in 2019, it is 9 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,492 gross tonnage it is larger than 75% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 474 chemical tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 20.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give MAJURO as port of registry.

Its 9,061 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 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 278.3 kg CO₂, 11% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 3,279 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 11.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (9,061 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,361 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 13 in 2019 to 31 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 565.6% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 201.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
