SHANDONG ZIHE against its type

Built in 2004, it is 6 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 25,400 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 65 chemical tankers here under the Hong Kong flag, 2.8% of the 2,344 on the register. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Hong Kong, China as port of registry.

Its 12,252 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 2.3 times the median of 5,393 t among the 1,411 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 367.8 kg CO₂, 43% above the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 2,817 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 15.6% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (12,252 t) and the lowest 2019 (4,416 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 33 in 2018 to 71 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 878 of 1,230 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 71st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.6; this vessel reported 23.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 528,345,408 tonne-miles over 33,312 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 125.9% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 11.5% while distance sailed fell 23.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 45.7%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2023 emissions occurred

Laden voyages2023

CO₂ on laden voyages: 7,198 t, 59% of total
Fuel, laden: 2,290 t
CO₂ per nm, laden: 308.3 kg

The rest of the 2023 total was emitted on ballast legs or at berth.
