ASIATIC KING: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

ASIATIC KING against its type

Built in 2005, it is 3 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 10,308 gross tonnage it is smaller than 88% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 336 container ships here under the Malta flag, 9.6% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it ASIATIC KING for 2018–2023 and SSF LILY for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018–2024), then Valletta (2025).

Its 8,401 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 49% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 259.3 kg CO₂, 52% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,790 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (20,774 t) and the lowest 2023 (2,227 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 93 in 2018 to 89 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,636 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 89th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 36.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 232,198,176 tonne-miles over 32,397 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 59.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 54.7% while distance sailed fell 53.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2025, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 5 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking, 4 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
