KARIN SCHEPERS 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 7,852 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% 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 68 other vessels here, 18 of them container ships. Boluda Corporación Marítima is linked to 2 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it KARIN SCHEPERS for 2019–2021 and LUCIA B for 2022–2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Madeira as port of registry.
Its 14,784 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 203.7 kg CO₂, 63% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,441 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (23,619 t) and the lowest 2020 (12,820 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 99 in 2019 to 97 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
