NIEVES B against its type

Built in 2011, it is 3 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 10,318 gross tonnage it is smaller than 88% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it NORDIC LUEBECK for 2018–2020 and NIEVES B for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2020), then Madeira (2021–2025).

Its 19,350 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 18% above the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 267.3 kg CO₂, 51% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,865 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (19,778 t) and the lowest 2021 (13,381 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 94 in 2018 to 97 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 2.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 11.7% while distance sailed rose 8.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 8 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
