X-PRESS MULHACEN against its type
Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median container ship on this register (build year 2008, 3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 7,999 gross tonnage it is smaller than 96% 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 returns for 2018–2025 all give Valetta as port of registry.
Its 11,719 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 28% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 247.4 kg CO₂, 55% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,167 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (16,782 t) and the lowest 2025 (11,719 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 100 in 2019 to 95 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,751 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 95th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 46.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 250,404,274 tonne-miles over 47,363 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 18.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 12.5% while distance sailed fell 10.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
