CONTAINERSHIPS BOREALIS against its type
Built in 2021, it is 13 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 17,982 gross tonnage it is smaller than 78% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Cyprus flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 101 other vessels here, 74 of them container ships. The returns for 2021–2025 all give Limassol as port of registry.
Its 17,251 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 231.7 kg CO₂, 58% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,686 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (17,251 t) and the lowest 2023 (12,685 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 85 in 2021 to 73 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,350 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 73rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 22.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 779,516,493 tonne-miles over 74,469 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 4.2% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 11.2% while distance sailed rose 7.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
