VEGA VELA against its type
Built in 2005, it is 3 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 9,931 gross tonnage it is smaller than 94% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 160 other vessels here, 23 of them container ships. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2019–2020), then Majuro (2021–2024).
Its 1,274 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 93% 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 345.3 kg CO₂, 35% below the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 334 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 0.4% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (17,108 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,274 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 81 in 2018 to 92 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 92.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2024, emissions fell 60.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 38.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
