CAPE QUEST against its type
Built in 2017, it is 9 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 25,090 gross tonnage it is smaller than 73% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 69 container ships here under the United Kingdom flag, 2.0% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 101 other vessels here, 74 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it CAPE QUEST for 2023–2024 and CMA CGM QUEST for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Limassol (2023), then Valletta (2024), then LONDON (2025).
Its 8,832 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 46% 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 337.2 kg CO₂, 38% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,977 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 8.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (10,088 t) and the lowest 2024 (3,291 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2023 to 74 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 1,364 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 22.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 393,045,839 tonne-miles over 26,188 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 12.4% lower than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 168.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 26.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
