SPIRIT OF MELBOURNE against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 41,483 gross tonnage it is smaller than 52% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 4 container ships here under the Isle of Man flag, 0.1% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it SPIRIT OF MELBOURNE for 2018, 0195 SPIRIT OF MELBOURNE for 2019 and SPIRIT OF MELBOURNE for 2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Douglas as port of registry.
Its 33,927 t of CO₂ for 2019 is 1.8 times the median of 18,616 t among the 1,830 container ships on this register that reported for 2019. Per nautical mile it emitted 613.9 kg CO₂, 15% above the type median of 535.7 kg. It logged 3,652 hours at sea against a median of 3,398 hours for its type that year. 2.2% of its 2019 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.5%.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2019
Position 1,097 of 1,549 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 71st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.0; this vessel reported 25.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,340,462,268 tonne-miles over 55,263 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2019 was 10.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2019, emissions fell 10.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
