SAMSKIP INNOVATOR 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 7,852 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% 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. The same builder is recorded for 68 other vessels here, 18 of them container ships. The reported port of registry changed: Limassol (2018–2024), then Madeira (2025).

Its 12,893 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 21% 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 229.4 kg CO₂, 58% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,212 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (13,441 t) and the lowest 2022 (4,108 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2018 to 99 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,821 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 99th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 64.0.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 99th percentile, EEOI 64.0

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 201,446,406 tonne-miles over 56,211 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 3.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 0.1% while distance sailed rose 0.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.3%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

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