CAPE FRANKLIN 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 15,995 gross tonnage it is smaller than 82% 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 43 other vessels here, 30 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it CAPE FRANKLIN for 2023–2024 and MSC BAHRAIN II for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2024), then Madeira (2025).
Its 13,492 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 18% 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 283.2 kg CO₂, 48% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,319 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (13,492 t) and the lowest 2023 (514 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 79 in 2024 to 82 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,515 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 82nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 28.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 478,951,722 tonne-miles over 47,635 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 2,522.6% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 14.8% while distance sailed rose 10.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
