ELBWAVE against its type

Built in 2011, it is 3 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 10,585 gross tonnage it is smaller than 87% 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. Its MRV returns name it WES CARINA for 2018–2020 and ELBWAVE for 2021–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Limassol as port of registry.

Its 14,214 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 248.2 kg CO₂, 55% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,734 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 8.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (18,099 t) and the lowest 2022 (13,959 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 20 in 2018 to 89 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
