HELLAS HERCULES against its type

Built in 2015, it is 2 years newer than the median gas carrier on this register, which was built in 2013 (530 vessels with a known build year). At 48,022 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% of the other 525 gas carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 59 gas carriers here under the Malta flag, 8.6% of the 688 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 100 of them gas carriers. The returns for 2020–2024 all give Valletta as port of registry.

Its 4,320 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 30% below the median of 6,198 t among the 333 gas carriers on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 410.9 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 252.4 kg. It logged 696 hours at sea against a median of 2,165 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for gas carriers was 3.5%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 2 in 2020 to 19 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 54 of 279 qualifying gas carriers by EEOI, at the 19th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 34.6; this vessel reported 17.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 247,575,931 tonne-miles over 10,515 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

2020: 2,218 t20202,2182024: 4,320 t20244,320

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 94.8% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2020 to 2024, emissions rose 94.8% while distance sailed rose 105.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
