CMA CGM FORT DESAIX 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 42,609 gross tonnage it is smaller than 51% 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 80 other vessels here, 61 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it JPO TAURUS for 2018, CMA CGM FORT DESAIX for 2020–2021 and FORT DESAIX for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hamburg (2018), then Madeira (2020), then VALLETTA (2021–2025).
Its 21,830 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 33% 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 432.4 kg CO₂, 21% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,712 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (70,050 t) and the lowest 2025 (21,830 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 78 in 2020 to 54 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 989 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 54th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 15.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,437,114,549 tonne-miles over 50,480 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 36.7% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 37.3% while distance sailed rose 3.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 39.6%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
