MERKUR ARCHIPELAGO against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 41,331 gross tonnage it is smaller than 53% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 3,699 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 79% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 496.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 688 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 0.6% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 31 in 2023 to 62 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,024 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 62nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 18.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 198,026,767 tonne-miles over 7,453 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 32.5% lower than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 32.5% while distance sailed fell 37.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
