CMA CGM ARKANSAS against its type

Built in 2015, it is 7 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 94,440 gross tonnage it is larger than 75% 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 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Valletta as port of registry.

Its 27,203 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 1.9 times the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 828.3 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 2,022 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 6.0% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (53,245 t) and the lowest 2018 (5,556 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 25 in 2018 to 29 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 483 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 29th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 11.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,384,144,610 tonne-miles over 32,844 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 389.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 43.0% while distance sailed fell 39.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2023 emissions occurred

Laden voyages2023

CO₂ on laden voyages: 25,574 t, 94% of total
Fuel, laden: 8,182 t
CO₂ per nm, laden: 778.7 kg

The rest of the 2023 total was emitted on ballast legs or at berth.
