CAPE MALE against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 35,878 gross tonnage it is smaller than 60% 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 101 other vessels here, 74 of them container ships. Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd. is linked to 43 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it CAPE MALE for 2021–2024 and MSC SALINA III for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2021–2024), then MADEIRA (2025).
Its 20,824 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 27% above the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 471.4 kg CO₂, 14% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,990 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (20,824 t) and the lowest 2022 (455 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 70 in 2024 to 76 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 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 1,406 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 76th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 23.5.
Across the 36 ranked vessels operated by Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd., the median percentile is 66. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 885,354,592 tonne-miles over 44,177 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 324.3% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 4.3% while distance sailed rose 5.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
