FAIRCHEM CHARGER 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 11,640 gross tonnage it is smaller than 75% 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. Its MRV returns name it FAIRCHEM CHARGER for 2018–2020 and ORCHID MADEIRA for 2021–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 3,896 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 30% below the median of 5,531 t among the 1,484 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 184.2 kg CO₂, 26% below the type median of 250.2 kg. It logged 1,790 hours at sea against a median of 2,106 hours for its type that year. 4.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 6.6%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (7,866 t) and the lowest 2019 (2,658 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 58 in 2018 to 30 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 408 of 1,348 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 30th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.4; this vessel reported 11.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 350,961,261 tonne-miles over 21,149 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 16.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 35.1% while distance sailed fell 9.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 28.1%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
