AL ZUBARA against its type

Built in 2015, it is 7 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 195,636 gross tonnage it is larger than 96% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 63 container ships here under the Germany flag, 1.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2022), then Hamburg (2023–2025).

Its 48,925 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.0 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 979.9 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,180 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (51,839 t) and the lowest 2022 (20,542 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 2 in 2018 to 6 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 108 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 6th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 6.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 7,620,647,975 tonne-miles over 49,931 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 5.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 46.0% while distance sailed rose 27.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
