SEYCHELLES PIONEER against its type
Built in 2005, it is 5 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 22,346 gross tonnage it is smaller than 53% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 4 chemical tankers here under the Seychelles flag, 0.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 25 other vessels here, 9 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Port Victoria as port of registry.
Its 3,243 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 41% below the median of 5,533 t among the 1,483 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 401.8 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 769 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 13.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (16,987 t) and the lowest 2025 (3,243 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 52 in 2018 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,233 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 38.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 85,019,664 tonne-miles over 8,071 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 78.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 74.2% while distance sailed fell 76.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
