CANDELARIA B against its type

Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 7,519 gross tonnage it is smaller than 97% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% 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 HELGA for 2018–2020 and CANDELARIA B for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Heerenveen (2018–2020), then Madeira (2021–2025).

Its 17,590 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 204.8 kg CO₂, 62% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 6,318 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (18,149 t) and the lowest 2021 (11,645 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 95 in 2018 to 98 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 1,798 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 98th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 55.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 317,804,155 tonne-miles over 85,908 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 38.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 1.7% while distance sailed rose 3.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
