SPIRIT OF CHENNAI against its type
Built in 2019, it is 11 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 12,800 gross tonnage it is smaller than 86% 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 44 other vessels here, 23 of them container ships. The returns for 2019–2024 all give Madeira as port of registry.
Its 9,941 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 44% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 238.1 kg CO₂, 55% below the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 3,678 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 5.2% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (12,209 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,584 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2020 to 80 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,334 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 80th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 27.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 357,992,798 tonne-miles over 41,753 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 527.7% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 5.2% while distance sailed fell 8.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
