GSL MELINA against its type
Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 39,905 gross tonnage it is smaller than 57% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 101 other vessels here, 74 of them container ships. The returns for 2021–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 10,062 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 43% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 474.4 kg CO₂, 10% below the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 1,598 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 1.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (10,062 t) and the lowest 2021 (4,344 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2021 to 93 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,551 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 93rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 46.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 218,030,336 tonne-miles over 21,209 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 131.6% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 87.6% while distance sailed rose 75.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
