ESCAPE 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 17,368 gross tonnage it is smaller than 79% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 336 container ships here under the Malta flag, 9.6% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it ESCAPE for 2018–2024 and NORTH for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Harlingen (2018–2024), then Valletta (2025).
Its 11,129 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 32% 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 295.4 kg CO₂, 46% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,081 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 6.8% 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 (20,361 t) and the lowest 2024 (10,549 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 0 in 2018 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,693 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 40.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 272,642,577 tonne-miles over 37,670 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 45.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 5.5% while distance sailed fell 7.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.4%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
