ELKE against its type
Built in 2005, it is 3 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 9,701 gross tonnage it is smaller than 94% 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. The same builder is recorded for 95 other vessels here, 12 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it ELKE for 2019–2020 and MSC ELKE F for 2021–2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Limassol as port of registry.
Its 10,612 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 35% 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 181.3 kg CO₂, 67% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,867 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (13,357 t) and the lowest 2021 (10,126 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2020 to 84 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 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 1,546 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 84th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 29.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 355,269,166 tonne-miles over 58,539 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 11.4% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 20.6% while distance sailed fell 17.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
