INDEPENDENT SPIRIT against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 26,435 gross tonnage it is smaller than 69% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 63 container ships here under the Germany flag, 1.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 127 other vessels here, 46 of them container ships. The returns for 2019–2020 all give Hamburg as port of registry.
Its 27,201 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 1.6 times the median of 16,763 t among the 1,837 container ships on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 348.1 kg CO₂, 35% below the type median of 536.8 kg. It logged 5,497 hours at sea against a median of 2,806 hours for its type that year. 1.7% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.7%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (35,541 t) and the lowest 2020 (27,201 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 53 in 2018 to 70 in 2020 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 1,064 of 1,525 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 70th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 22.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,213,254,683 tonne-miles over 78,142 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 19.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions fell 23.5% while distance sailed fell 23.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
