MAERSK PALERMO against its type
Built in 1998, it is 10 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 31,333 gross tonnage it is smaller than 63% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 6 container ships here under the Barbados flag, 0.2% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 16 other vessels here, all of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MAERSK PALERMO for 2018–2022 and PALERMO for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Rotterdam (2018–2019), then Monrovia (2020–2022), then Bridgetown (2023).
Its 16,674 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 14% above the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 443.1 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 4,078 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (38,077 t) and the lowest 2020 (6,409 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 76 in 2018 to 79 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,315 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 79th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 31.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 533,559,680 tonne-miles over 37,633 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 39.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 40.3% while distance sailed fell 41.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
