ECO CHIOS against its type
Built in 2014, it is 1 year newer than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 5,320 gross tonnage it is smaller than 98% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 70 gas carriers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 10.2% of the 688 on the register. Its MRV returns name it EPIC BIRD for 2018–2021 and ECO CHIOS for 2025.
Its 1,230 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 79% below the median of 5,974 t among the 363 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 137.0 kg CO₂, 47% below the type median of 256.2 kg. It logged 715 hours at sea against a median of 1,943 hours for its type that year. 2.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 3.8%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (7,587 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,230 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 66 in 2018 to 63 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 83.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2025, emissions fell 63.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

This page draws on 4 MRV reporting years, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.
Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
