SUNBEAM against its type
Built in 2007, it is 3 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 8,539 gross tonnage it is smaller than 85% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 259 chemical tankers here under the Panama flag, 11.0% of the 2,344 on the register. Its MRV returns name it SUNBEAM for 2019–2023 and SUNLIT for 2024–2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 4,574 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 17% 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 218.1 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 3,119 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 13.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (6,360 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,586 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2023 to 94 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,263 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 94th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 41.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 110,260,849 tonne-miles over 20,969 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 188.3% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 28.1% while distance sailed fell 39.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 17.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
