CARTAGENA EXPRESS 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 118,945 gross tonnage it is larger than 84% 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 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Hamburg as port of registry.

Its 35,283 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.2 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 749.5 kg CO₂, 37% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,333 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (52,081 t) and the lowest 2023 (28,644 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 17 in 2018 to 28 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
