CHARO B against its type
Built in 1996, it is 12 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 7,550 gross tonnage it is smaller than 97% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 21 container ships here under the Netherlands flag, 0.6% 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 MS WEGA for 2018, WEGA for 2019, CHARO B for 2020–2021, WEGA for 2022–2024 and VM VITA for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: HAMBURG (2018–2024), then Rotterdam (2025).
Its 22,184 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 36% 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 229.5 kg CO₂, 58% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 6,495 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (22,184 t) and the lowest 2019 (10,551 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 100 in both 2018 and 2025. Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,838 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 100th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 93.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 237,867,789 tonne-miles over 96,644 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 32.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 14.6% while distance sailed rose 15.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
