FALCON NOSTOS against its type
Built in 2006, it is 4 years older than the median chemical tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (1,951 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 402 chemical tankers here under the Liberia flag, 17.2% of the 2,344 on the register. Its MRV returns name it FALCON NOSTOS for 2018 and GRACE LUCRUM for 2022–2023. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 1,642 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 70% below the median of 5,393 t among the 1,411 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 369.1 kg CO₂, 43% above the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 453 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 3.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (10,269 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,642 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 22 in 2018 to 76 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 940 of 1,230 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 76th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.6; this vessel reported 26.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 62,954,389 tonne-miles over 4,450 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 78.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 84.0% while distance sailed fell 85.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 13.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
