CAUCEDO EXPRESS 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 26,836 gross tonnage it is smaller than 68% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 73 container ships here under the Antigua and Barbuda flag, 2.1% 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 MAERSK NIMES for 2018–2020 and CAUCEDO EXPRESS for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2020), then Antwerpen (2021–2022), then Hong Kong (2023), then St. John`s (2024), then St. Johns (2025).
Its 22,770 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 39% above the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 401.5 kg CO₂, 26% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,155 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.1% 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 (37,081 t) and the lowest 2022 (13,312 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 56 in 2018 to 76 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,388 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 76th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 23.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 989,581,486 tonne-miles over 56,719 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 38.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 9.3% while distance sailed fell <0.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.3%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
