CMA CGM VELA against its type
Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median container ship on this register (build year 2008, 3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 128,600 gross tonnage it is larger than 85% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 336 container ships here under the Malta flag, 9.6% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 2 other vessels here, one of them a container ship. The reported port of registry changed: Madeira (2018–2020), then Valletta (2021).
Its 32,235 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 2.0 times the median of 16,246 t among the 1,825 container ships on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,189.1 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 562.2 kg. It logged 1,600 hours at sea against a median of 2,808 hours for its type that year. 3.3% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.9%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (38,560 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,967 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 29 in 2020 to 32 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 496 of 1,557 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 32nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.2; this vessel reported 12.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,591,264,470 tonne-miles over 27,110 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 1,539.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 16.4% while distance sailed fell 26.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
