SONGA WINDS against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 11,773 gross tonnage it is smaller than 73% 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. Its MRV returns name it SONGA WINDS for 2018–2024 and TG VIRGO for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2024), then Monrovia (2025).
Its 2,366 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 57% 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 229.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,046 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 2.4% 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 (11,701 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,366 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2018 to 58 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 784 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 58th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 16.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 143,946,472 tonne-miles over 10,332 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 77.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 11.5% while distance sailed fell 11.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
