MICHELANGELO TRADER against its type
Built in 2004, it is 4 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 9,528 gross tonnage it is smaller than 94% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 6 container ships here under the Barbados flag, 0.2% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 6 other vessels here, 3 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MICHELANGELO TRADER for 2021 and RMS TEAM for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: VALLETTA (2021), then Bridgetown (2023–2025).
Its 4,009 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 77% 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 218.7 kg CO₂, 59% below the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 1,757 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 0.5% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (4,009 t) and the lowest 2023 (609 t).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 109.0% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 558.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 33.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
