TAURUS against its type
Built in 2016, it is 8 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 148,386 gross tonnage it is larger than 89% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 336 container ships here under the Malta flag, 9.6% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2022 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 45,858 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 3.0 times the median of 15,388 t among the 1,858 container ships on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 854.6 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 539.7 kg. It logged 3,296 hours at sea against a median of 2,699 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (79,286 t) and the lowest 2020 (42,040 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 6 in 2018 to 13 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).
