Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,272 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 76th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 29.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 610,039,283 tonne-miles over 55,066 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 36.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 31.4% while distance sailed fell 20.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.3%.
