SONGA PRIDE against its type

Built in 2016, it is 6 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 28,326 gross tonnage it is larger than 66% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 402 chemical tankers here under the Liberia flag, 17.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 7 other vessels here, 6 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it SONGA PRIDE for 2019–2021 and WECO MADELEINE for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2019–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2025).

Its 11,762 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.1 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 293.5 kg CO₂, 17% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 3,335 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 5.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (11,762 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,313 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2019 to 14 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 189 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 14th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 8.5.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 14th percentile, EEOI 8.5

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,382,108,108 tonne-miles over 40,074 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 26.6% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 89.3% while distance sailed rose 140.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 21.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 6 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 5 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
