SOUNION TRADER against its type
Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 40,146 gross tonnage it is smaller than 55% 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. The same builder is recorded for 80 other vessels here, 61 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it WASHINGTON EXPRESS for 2018–2020 and SOUNION TRADER for 2021–2023. The reported port of registry changed: Washington, DC (2018–2020), then Monrovia (2021–2023).
Its 3,412 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 77% 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 483.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 514 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (45,125 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,412 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 69 in 2018 to 58 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 963 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 58th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 19.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 171,808,661 tonne-miles over 7,061 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 92.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 81.5% while distance sailed fell 77.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 16.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
