MICHIGAN 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 15,334 gross tonnage it is smaller than 84% 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 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.

Its 17,884 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 324.0 kg CO₂, 41% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,137 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 6.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (17,884 t) and the lowest 2018 (5,865 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 73 in 2019 to 88 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 204.9% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 16.3% while distance sailed rose 21.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
