CHICAGO 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 65,918 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% 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 133 other vessels here, 105 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it CHICAGO for 2023 and PANDA 008 for 2024–2025. The returns for 2023–2025 all give MADEIRA as port of registry.
Its 69,658 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 4.3 times the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 595.5 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 6,469 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 0.7% 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 (69,658 t) and the lowest 2023 (22,663 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 84 in 2023 to 86 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
