MERVE A against its type
Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median container ship on this register (build year 2008, 3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 40,030 gross tonnage it is smaller than 56% 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 same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MERVE A for 2023–2024 and PAOLO for 2025. The returns for 2023–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 2,825 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 83% 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 473.8 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 513 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (16,335 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,825 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 56 in both 2023 and 2024. Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 82.7% lower than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 79.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 22.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
