ISTRIAN EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2011, it is 3 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 12,514 gross tonnage it is smaller than 86% 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. Its MRV returns name it ISTRIAN EXPRESS for 2018–2019 and NORDIC ISTRIA for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Gibraltar (2018–2019), then Madeira (2020–2025).
Its 10,652 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 35% 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 198.0 kg CO₂, 64% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,224 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 9.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (25,251 t) and the lowest 2024 (10,456 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 93 in 2018 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
