CHARLESTON against its type
Built in 2005, it is 3 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 91,649 gross tonnage it is larger than 72% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it SM CHARLESTON for 2019 and CHARLESTON for 2020. The returns for 2019–2020 all give MONROVIA as port of registry.
Its 12,710 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 24% below the median of 16,763 t among the 1,837 container ships on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 733.1 kg CO₂, 37% above the type median of 536.8 kg. It logged 1,188 hours at sea against a median of 2,806 hours for its type that year. 4.3% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.7%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 23 in 2019 to 19 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2020 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 287 of 1,525 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 19th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 8.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,445,939,704 tonne-miles over 17,337 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 2.4% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions rose 2.4% while distance sailed rose 7.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
