FAYSTON FARMS against its type
Built in 2006, it is 2 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 27,059 gross tonnage it is smaller than 67% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 32 other vessels here, 21 of them container ships. Columbia Shipmanagement is linked to 42 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it VIRGINIA TRADER for 2021 and FAYSTON FARMS for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valetta (2021–2022), then MAJURO (2023–2025).
Its 8,869 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 46% 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 440.6 kg CO₂, 19% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,449 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (9,192 t) and the lowest 2023 (6,434 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 63 in both 2022 and 2025. Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,165 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 63rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 18.0.
Across the 41 ranked vessels operated by Columbia Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 53. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 491,626,940 tonne-miles over 20,130 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 25.9% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 37.8% while distance sailed rose 3.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 32.7%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
