AL QIBLA against its type
Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 141,077 gross tonnage it is larger than 86% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it AL QIBLA for 2019 and AL QIBLA EXPRESS for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2019), then MONROVIA (2022–2025).
Its 3,463 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 76% below the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 933.4 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 265 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 10.5% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (19,923 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,463 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 25 in 2019 to 29 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 489 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 29th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 11.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 301,409,922 tonne-miles over 3,710 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 82.6% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 46.3% while distance sailed fell 50.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
