Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,523 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 83rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 28.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 621,325,996 tonne-miles over 60,474 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 717.1% higher than in 2024, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 717.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
