CMA CGM KOUROU against its type

Built in 2020, it is 12 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 32 container ships here under the France flag, 0.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 211 other vessels here, 61 of them container ships. The returns for 2020–2025 all give MARSEILLE as port of registry.

Its 24,369 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 49% 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 406.0 kg CO₂, 26% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,330 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (41,848 t) and the lowest 2025 (24,369 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 79 in 2020 to 86 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,580 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 86th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 32.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 751,903,116 tonne-miles over 60,028 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 36.9% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 24.5% while distance sailed fell 17.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.8%.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: 24,751 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.39 t
Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 1.40 t
