ALGECIRAS EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2002, it is 6 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 39,941 gross tonnage it is smaller than 56% 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 SEASPAN NINGBO for 2019–2021 and ALGECIRAS EXPRESS for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2019–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2025).
Its 16,334 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 500.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,668 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (16,334 t) and the lowest 2022 (4,724 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 47 in 2020 to 72 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,324 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 72nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 21.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 759,033,922 tonne-miles over 32,632 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 220.9% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 120.3% while distance sailed rose 143.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
