ABIDJAN EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2006, it is 2 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 28,592 gross tonnage it is smaller than 65% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 336 container ships here under the Malta flag, 9.6% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 86 of them container ships. ARKAS Line is linked to 47 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it ABIDJAN EXPRESS for 2018–2020 and STANLEY A for 2021–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 10,467 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 36% 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 362.2 kg CO₂, 34% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,314 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 6.9% 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 (15,271 t) and the lowest 2024 (3,946 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 78 in 2018 to 69 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,268 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 69th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 20.1.
Across the 37 ranked vessels operated by ARKAS Line, the median percentile is 77. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 521,506,228 tonne-miles over 28,894 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 31.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 165.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 16.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
