MAERSK ELBA 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 141,716 gross tonnage it is larger than 87% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Denmark flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it SCORPIO RICKMERS for 2018 and MAERSK ELBA for 2019–2021. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018), then Kopenhagen (2020–2021).
Its 2,990 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 82% below the median of 16,246 t among the 1,825 container ships on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,428.1 kg CO₂, 2.5 times the type median of 562.2 kg. It logged 155 hours at sea against a median of 2,808 hours for its type that year. 47.2% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (22,876 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,990 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 22 in 2018 to 30 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 472 of 1,557 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 30th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.2; this vessel reported 12.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 248,378,738 tonne-miles over 2,094 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 70.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 86.9% while distance sailed fell 91.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 45.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
