APL PHOENIX 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). It is one of 7 container ships here under the United States flag, 0.2% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it APL PHOENIX for 2019–2024 and CMA CGM PHOENIX for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2020–2024), then Wilmington (2025).

Its 17,004 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 702.1 kg CO₂, 29% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,328 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (59,809 t) and the lowest 2019 (10,676 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 37 in 2019 to 19 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 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 343 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 19th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 8.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,096,722,565 tonne-miles over 24,218 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 59.3% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 71.6% while distance sailed fell 72.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2025 emissions occurred

Methane, nitrous oxide and EU ETS2025

Total CO₂ equivalent: 17,272 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.27 t
