MERITO 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 11,925 gross tonnage it is smaller than 86% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 336 container ships here under the Malta flag, 9.6% of the 3,495 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 7,340 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 55% 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 252.3 kg CO₂, 54% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,035 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (10,918 t) and the lowest 2023 (6,286 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 91 in 2021 to 90 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 7.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 9.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
