ELBSTROM against its type

Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median container ship on this register (build year 2008, 3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 8,273 gross tonnage it is smaller than 95% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 35 other vessels here, 26 of them container ships. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Madeira as port of registry.

Its 14,652 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 10% 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 195.2 kg CO₂, 64% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 6,026 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (14,652 t) and the lowest 2021 (7,181 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 97 in 2019 to 93 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,714 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 93rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 42.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 345,808,119 tonne-miles over 75,072 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 10.8% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 8.3% while distance sailed rose 19.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
