CMA CGM ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT against its type
Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 175,343 gross tonnage it is larger than 94% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 336 container ships here under the Malta flag, 9.6% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. CMA CGM is linked to 40 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give valletta as port of registry.
Its 24,261 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 48% 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 902.4 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,785 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 0.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (79,382 t) and the lowest 2023 (6,632 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 13 in 2018 to 28 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 512 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 28th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 9.5.
Across the 39 ranked vessels operated by CMA CGM, the median percentile is 26. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,545,724,029 tonne-miles over 26,885 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 68.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 55.8% while distance sailed fell 50.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 11.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
