MERKUR FJORD against its type
Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 42,564 gross tonnage it is smaller than 51% 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 2021–2023 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 10,634 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 27% below the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 483.5 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 1,487 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 2.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (36,104 t) and the lowest 2023 (10,634 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 49 in 2021 to 41 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 690 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 41st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 14.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 742,089,323 tonne-miles over 21,996 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 57.8% lower than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 70.5% while distance sailed fell 69.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
