FREE SPIRIT against its type
Built in 2008, it is 2 years older than the median oil tanker on this register, which was built in 2010 (2,896 vessels with a known build year). At 62,775 gross tonnage it is larger than 61% of the other 2,841 oil tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 793 oil tankers here under the Marshall Islands flag, 22.4% of the 3,548 on the register. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Majuro as port of registry.
Its 10,234 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 25% above the median of 8,196 t among the 1,808 oil tankers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 607.3 kg CO₂, 49% above the type median of 408.2 kg. It logged 1,500 hours at sea against a median of 2,020 hours for its type that year. 5.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for oil tankers was 7.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (13,244 t) and the lowest 2018 (4,267 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 53 in 2018 to 60 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 938 of 1,566 qualifying oil tankers by EEOI, at the 60th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 7.6; this vessel reported 8.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,219,839,094 tonne-miles over 16,853 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 139.9% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2024, emissions fell 16.6% while distance sailed fell 27.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
