CMA CGM COLUMBIA 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 95,680 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% 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.

Its 44,467 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.7 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 911.6 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,203 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (63,600 t) and the lowest 2023 (1,969 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 21 in 2020 to 38 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 691 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 38th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 11.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,945,628,216 tonne-miles over 48,777 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 914.1% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 30.1% while distance sailed fell 31.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2025 emissions occurred

Methane, nitrous oxide and EU ETS2025

Total CO₂ equivalent: 45,168 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.71 t
Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 2.57 t
