VEGA SCORPIO against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 387 container ships here under the Panama flag, 11.1% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it VEGA SCORPIO for 2021–2022, CONTSHIP GEM for 2024 and MEDKON GEM for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hamburg (2021–2022), then LIMASSOL (2024), then Panama (2025).
Its 2,336 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 87% 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 269.7 kg CO₂, 49% below the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 920 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 7.8% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (9,770 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,336 t). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 76.1% lower than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2024, emissions fell 65.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
