EASTERLY FALCON 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 17,822 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 71 chemical tankers here under the Portugal flag, 3.0% of the 2,344 on the register. Its MRV returns name it SICHEM FALCON for 2018, TEAM FALCON for 2019–2022, EASTERLY FALCON for 2023 and SONGA FALCON for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valetta (2018), then Valletta (2019–2022), then MAJURO (2023), then Madeira (2024–2025).
Its 10,941 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 times the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 328.9 kg CO₂, 31% above the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 3,684 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 18.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (12,197 t) and the lowest 2022 (5,801 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 76 in 2018 to 82 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,111 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 82nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 28.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 385,371,610 tonne-miles over 33,264 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 35.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 48.4% while distance sailed rose 26.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 17.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
