GSL NICOLETTA against its type
Built in 2002, it is 6 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 75,201 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% 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 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 5,976 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 63% 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 710.5 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 520 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (29,911 t) and the lowest 2025 (5,976 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 64 in 2020 to 78 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,428 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 78th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 24.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 245,409,446 tonne-miles over 8,410 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 64.9% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions fell 8.9% while distance sailed fell 19.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 12.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
