NORD SWAN 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 24,066 gross tonnage it is larger than 56% of the other 1,899 chemical tankers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 402 chemical tankers here under the Liberia flag, 17.2% of the 2,344 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 192 other vessels here, 87 of them chemical tankers. Its MRV returns name it NORD SWAN for 2018–2020 and VORIAS for 2021–2023. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2019–2020), then Monrovia (2021–2023).
Its 8,261 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 1.5 times the median of 5,393 t among the 1,411 chemical tankers on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 336.4 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 258.0 kg. It logged 2,884 hours at sea against a median of 1,919 hours for its type that year. 18.2% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for chemical tankers was 8.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (13,262 t) and the lowest 2023 (8,261 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 44 in 2019 to 70 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 868 of 1,230 qualifying chemical tankers by EEOI, at the 70th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.6; this vessel reported 22.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 360,433,682 tonne-miles over 24,556 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 23.5% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 31.3% while distance sailed fell 31.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
