BERLIN EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2023, it is 15 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 63 container ships here under the Germany flag, 1.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 6 other vessels here, all of them container ships. The returns for 2023–2025 all give Hamburg as port of registry.
Its 57,821 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 972.2 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,818 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (57,821 t) and the lowest 2023 (23,045 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 3 in 2023 to 2 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 46 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 2nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 5.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 9,866,996,587 tonne-miles over 59,473 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 150.9% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 17.9% while distance sailed fell 1.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 19.8%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
