COSTA RICA EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 71,021 gross tonnage it is larger than 62% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it KATHERINE for 2018–2023 and COSTA RICA EXPRESS for 2024. The returns for 2018–2024 all give MAJURO as port of registry.
Its 4,622 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 74% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 655.0 kg CO₂, 24% above the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 19 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 7.6% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (60,171 t) and the lowest 2024 (4,622 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 29 in 2018 to 42 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 92.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 90.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
