GH MELTEMI against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 35,878 gross tonnage it is smaller than 60% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 101 other vessels here, 74 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it GH MELTEMI for 2018–2020 and MSC MELTEMI III for 2021–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Madeira as port of registry.
Its 6,895 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 58% 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 519.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,040 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (45,852 t) and the lowest 2023 (300 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 91 in 2018 to 67 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,230 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 67th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 19.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 359,128,646 tonne-miles over 13,277 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 85.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 2,200.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
