BALTIC SHARK against its type
Built in 2004, it is 4 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 9,981 gross tonnage it is smaller than 90% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 73 container ships here under the Antigua and Barbuda flag, 2.1% 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 X-PRESS SHANNON for 2018–2021 and BALTIC SHARK for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valetta (2018–2021), then St. John`s (2024–2025).
Its 13,117 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 20% 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 184.4 kg CO₂, 66% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 6,478 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.7% 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 (13,627 t) and the lowest 2020 (3,551 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 88 in 2021 to 86 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,589 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 86th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 33.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 397,359,891 tonne-miles over 71,136 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 3.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 8.9% while distance sailed rose 17.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
