SANTA CRUZ 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 85,676 gross tonnage it is larger than 68% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Denmark flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Kobenhavn as port of registry.

Its 40,927 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.5 times the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 783.9 kg CO₂, 44% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,348 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (53,366 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,452 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2021 to 48 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 875 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 48th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 13.7.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,993,958,303 tonne-miles over 52,212 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 2,718.7% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 23.3% while distance sailed fell 27.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
