BALTIC WHALE 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 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 JOANNA BORCHARD for 2018–2019, JSP ANNA for 2020–2024 and BALTIC WHALE for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hamburg (2018–2020), then Madeira (2021), then Hamburg (2022–2023), then Madeira (2024), then St. John`s (2025).
Its 13,041 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 213.0 kg CO₂, 61% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,307 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (21,274 t) and the lowest 2021 (8,199 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 91 in 2018 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 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 1,687 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 40.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 324,473,003 tonne-miles over 61,220 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 34.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 30.4% while distance sailed rose 55.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 15.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
