MICHEL A against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 17,687 gross tonnage it is smaller than 79% 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 43 other vessels here, 30 of them container ships. ARKAS Line is linked to 47 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Izmir (2018), then Valletta (2019–2025).
Its 12,360 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 24% 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 342.8 kg CO₂, 37% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,313 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (17,677 t) and the lowest 2020 (5,646 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 79 in 2021 to 85 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,561 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 85th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 30.8.
Across the 37 ranked vessels operated by ARKAS Line, the median percentile is 77. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 401,677,283 tonne-miles over 36,056 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 40.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 30.1% while distance sailed fell 32.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
