CMA CGM AFRICA ONE: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

CMA CGM AFRICA ONE against its type

Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 40,827 gross tonnage it is smaller than 54% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 17 container ships here under the Bahamas flag, 0.5% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 74 other vessels here, 49 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.

Its 15,369 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 625.3 kg CO₂, 15% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,226 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (31,212 t) and the lowest 2022 (4,515 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 63 in 2018 to 58 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,075 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 58th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 16.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 926,410,488 tonne-miles over 24,578 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 50.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 27.6% while distance sailed fell 37.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 15.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
