0179 SAFMARINE BENGUELA against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 35,835 gross tonnage it is smaller than 60% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 202 container ships here under the Hong Kong flag, 5.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 133 other vessels here, 105 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it SAFMARINE BENGUELA for 2018, 0179 SAFMARINE BENGUELA for 2019–2021, SAFMARINE BENGUELA for 2022 and MAERSK BENGUELA for 2023–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 22,908 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 40% above the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 404.3 kg CO₂, 26% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,159 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (32,520 t) and the lowest 2019 (13,315 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 45 in 2018 to 54 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
