0203 ELIZABETH against its type
Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 27,322 gross tonnage it is smaller than 66% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 86 other vessels here, 35 of them container ships. Zeaborn Ship Management is linked to 56 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it E.R. ELSFLETH for 2018, 0203 E.R. ELENA for 2019, 0203 ELIZABETH for 2020–2021, ELIZABETH for 2022–2024 and MSC ERMINIA III for 2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 9,568 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 42% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 573.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,325 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 6.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (25,738 t) and the lowest 2023 (823 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 86 in 2018 to 90 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,651 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 90th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 37.1.
Across the 43 ranked vessels operated by Zeaborn Ship Management, the median percentile is 45. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 257,902,695 tonne-miles over 16,675 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 62.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 79.1% while distance sailed rose 12.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 58.6%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
