ELAN 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 11,662 gross tonnage it is smaller than 86% 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 180 other vessels here, 110 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it ELAN for 2018–2020 and WEC VAN RIJN for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Harlingen (2018–2020), then limassol (2021–2025).

Its 11,875 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 263.4 kg CO₂, 52% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,021 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 6.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (17,504 t) and the lowest 2025 (11,875 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 83 in 2018 to 87 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,603 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 87th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 33.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 351,427,641 tonne-miles over 45,082 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 24.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 28.9% while distance sailed fell 20.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 11.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
