VISTULA MAERSK against its type

Built in 2018, it is 10 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 34,882 gross tonnage it is smaller than 61% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Denmark flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Copenhagen (2018), then Kobenhavn (2019–2025).

Its 29,024 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.8 times the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 357.5 kg CO₂, 34% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 6,079 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (29,024 t) and the lowest 2023 (164 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 34 in 2018 to 47 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 860 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 13.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,141,966,052 tonne-miles over 81,176 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 65.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 11.4% while distance sailed rose 2.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 9.0%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
