BF HAMBURG against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 71,786 gross tonnage it is larger than 63% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 98 other vessels here, 35 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MH HAMBURG for 2020–2021 and BF HAMBURG for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2020–2021), then Monrovia (2024–2025).
Its 9,003 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 45% 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 564.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,242 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (39,770 t) and the lowest 2024 (5,682 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 56 in 2020 to 31 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 570 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 31st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 10.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 888,774,926 tonne-miles over 15,954 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 77.4% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 58.4% while distance sailed rose 93.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 17.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
