APL BOSTON against its type

Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 109,712 gross tonnage it is larger than 81% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 362 container ships here under the Singapore flag, 10.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. The returns for 2024–2025 all give Singapore as port of registry.

Its 36,483 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.2 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 816.1 kg CO₂, 50% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,247 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (36,483 t) and the lowest 2023 (10,235 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 17 in 2021 to 41 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 759 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 41st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 11.9.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,065,810,924 tonne-miles over 44,704 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 164.4% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 5.5% while distance sailed fell 2.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.7%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2025 emissions occurred
