BC HAMBURG against its type

Built in 2006, it is 2 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 9,957 gross tonnage it is smaller than 92% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 387 container ships here under the Panama flag, 11.1% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 160 other vessels here, 23 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it BC HAMBURG for 2018, WILHELMINE for 2020–2023 and MARSA VIRGO for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018), then Madeira (2020–2023), then Panama (2024).

Its 13,167 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 26% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 284.5 kg CO₂, 46% below the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 3,962 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 4.4% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (13,167 t) and the lowest 2018 (5,601 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 94 in 2020 to 95 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year

2018: 5,601 t20185,6012020: 8,895 t20202021: 10,529 t20212022: 12,505 t20222023: 9,833 t20232024: 13,167 t202413,167

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 135.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 33.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 6 MRV reporting years, 5 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, 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.
