VIRGO against its type
Built in 2010, it is the same age as the median chemical tanker on this register (build year 2010, 1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,734 gross tonnage it is larger than 82% 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 returns for 2023–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 6,448 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 11% above the median of 5,830 t among the 1,451 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 297.6 kg CO₂, 17% above the type median of 253.5 kg. It logged 1,840 hours at sea against a median of 2,177 hours for its type that year. 5.8% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 5.9%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 31 in 2023 to 41 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 494 of 1,194 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 41st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 13.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 469,948,980 tonne-miles over 21,665 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 30.6% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 30.6% while distance sailed rose 63.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 20.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
