NIKOLAS against its type
Built in 2000, it is 8 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 25,294 gross tonnage it is smaller than 72% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 387 container ships here under the Panama flag, 11.1% of the 3,495 on the register. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 6,043 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 63% 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 427.9 kg CO₂, 22% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,605 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 6.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (14,406 t) and the lowest 2020 (5,438 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 45 in 2020 to 86 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,573 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 86th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 31.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 190,814,967 tonne-miles over 14,124 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 11.1% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 39.6% while distance sailed fell 51.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 25.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
