ELBSPRING against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 11,550 gross tonnage it is smaller than 87% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 21 container ships here under the Netherlands flag, 0.6% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 44 other vessels here, 23 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it PERSEUS for 2018–2019, ELBSPRING for 2020–2024 and EXPERT for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Saint John's (2018), then St.John's (2020–2022), then Saint John's (2023–2024), then Harlingen (2025).
Its 14,208 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 13% 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 258.5 kg CO₂, 53% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,721 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 (22,325 t) and the lowest 2020 (11,221 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 98 in 2018 to 91 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,680 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 91st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 39.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 359,780,957 tonne-miles over 54,971 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 31.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 0.7% while distance sailed fell 0.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.5%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
