ELBSTAR against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 9,983 gross tonnage it is smaller than 90% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 73 container ships here under the Antigua and Barbuda flag, 2.1% 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 PEGASUS for 2018–2020, ELBSTAR for 2021–2023 and MARBURG for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Saint John's (2018–2020), then St. John's (2021), then St.John's (2022–2025).
Its 13,342 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 18% 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 293.5 kg CO₂, 46% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,623 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 12.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (18,555 t) and the lowest 2022 (12,635 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 84 in 2018 to 93 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
