TARANTELLA against its type
Built in 2002, it is 8 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 26,914 gross tonnage it is larger than 63% 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 TARANTELLA for 2018 and WAN CHENG for 2023–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 3,781 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 32% 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 381.0 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,091 hours at sea against a median of 2,109 hours for its type that year. 5.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (8,948 t) and the lowest 2025 (3,781 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 24 in 2018 to 33 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 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 443 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 33rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 11.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 327,901,128 tonne-miles over 9,924 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 57.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 53.4% while distance sailed fell 56.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
