APL LION CITY 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 169,423 gross tonnage it is larger than 94% 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 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. American President Lines is linked to 4 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Singapore as port of registry.
Its 58,019 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.5 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 907.3 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,136 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 2024 (78,386 t) and the lowest 2021 (14,463 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 7 in 2018 to 21 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 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 394 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 21st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 8.4.
Across the 4 ranked vessels operated by American President Lines, the median percentile is 22. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 6,890,629,454 tonne-miles over 63,946 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 10.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 26.0% while distance sailed fell 24.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
