CSL SANTA MARIA: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

CSL SANTA MARIA against its type

Built in 2005, it is 3 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 54,809 gross tonnage it is larger than 57% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 387 container ships here under the Panama flag, 11.1% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it CSL SANTA MARIA for 2018–2020 and MSC SANTA MARIA for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Limassol (2019–2020), then Panama (2023–2025).

Its 11,895 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 27% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 519.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,664 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 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (13,303 t) and the lowest 2024 (3,450 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 64 in 2023 to 56 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,025 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 56th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 15.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 751,869,153 tonne-miles over 22,911 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 10.6% lower than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 244.8% while distance sailed rose 406.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 31.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
