The reported port of registry changed: Copenhagen (2018), then Kobenhavn (2019–2023).
Its 784 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 95% below the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 338.2 kg CO₂, 34% below the type median of 509.2 kg.
