PLUTO 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 7,545 gross tonnage it is smaller than 97% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 73 container ships here under the Antigua and Barbuda flag, 2.1% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it SAMSKIP SKALAFELL for 2018–2019, PLUTO for 2020, VENTO DI PONENTE for 2021–2023 and SUNSET X for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Saint John's (2018–2023), then St. John's (2024–2025).
Its 7,058 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 57% 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 244.8 kg CO₂, 55% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,913 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 7.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (16,044 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,979 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 98 in 2018 to 97 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 37.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 136.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
