SEABOARD BLUE 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 10,585 gross tonnage it is smaller than 87% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it WES AMELIE for 2018–2020, ELBBLUE for 2021–2022 and SEABOARD BLUE for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Limassol (2018–2022), then Monrovia (2023).
Its 2,278 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 84% below the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 213.1 kg CO₂, 58% below the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 840 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 7.5% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (13,623 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,278 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 75 in 2018 to 82 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 80.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 82.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
