ZIRCON against its type
Built in 2015, it is 5 years newer than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). At 29,767 gross tonnage it is larger than 83% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 474 chemical tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 20.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 180 other vessels here, 53 of them chemical tankers. The returns for 2018–2022 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 3,250 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 44% below the median of 5,807 t among the 1,486 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 303.8 kg CO₂, 14% above the type median of 266.3 kg. It logged 868 hours at sea against a median of 1,995 hours for its type that year. 11.5% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.6%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (6,297 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,834 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 4 in 2018 to 15 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2022 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 203 of 1,334 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 15th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.7; this vessel reported 9.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 332,645,855 tonne-miles over 10,697 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 45.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions rose 14.7% while distance sailed rose 10.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
