BRUSSELS EXPRESS against its type

Built in 2014, it is 6 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 153,148 gross tonnage it is larger than 92% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. 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 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it SAJIR for 2018–2019 and BRUSSELS EXPRESS for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018), then Hamburg (2019–2025).

Its 50,319 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.1 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 770.6 kg CO₂, 41% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,141 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (77,043 t) and the lowest 2022 (25,319 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 9 in 2018 to 14 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 249 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 14th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 7.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 6,781,514,825 tonne-miles over 65,302 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 34.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 23.0% while distance sailed rose 16.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 5.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
