CHIQUITA FARMER against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 26,435 gross tonnage it is smaller than 69% 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 127 other vessels here, 46 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it INDEPENDENT PURSUIT for 2018–2020, INTELLIGENT PURSUIT for 2021, CHIQUITA FARMER for 2023–2024 and MSC CHIQUITA III for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hamburg (2019–2024), then Madeira (2025).
Its 18,197 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 11% 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 376.8 kg CO₂, 31% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,779 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (34,703 t) and the lowest 2023 (8,576 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 49 in 2018 to 90 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.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,661 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 90th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 37.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 482,046,358 tonne-miles over 48,297 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 42.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 6.3% while distance sailed fell 20.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 18.3%.
