A2B INDEPENDENT against its type
Built in 1998, it is 10 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 5,056 gross tonnage it is smaller than 100% 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 180 other vessels here, 110 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it A2B INDEPENDENT for 2018–2021 and DEPE for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Moerdijk (2018–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2025).
Its 6,957 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 57% 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 160.0 kg CO₂, 71% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,468 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 0.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (9,562 t) and the lowest 2024 (159 t). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 27.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 4,270.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 49.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
