CMA CGM LEBU 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 40,541 gross tonnage it is smaller than 55% 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 211 other vessels here, 61 of them container ships. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2021), then Valletta (2024–2025).
Its 12,346 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 25% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 548.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,934 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 7.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (12,346 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,158 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 69 in 2024 to 70 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 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 1,277 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 70th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 20.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 608,792,899 tonne-miles over 22,526 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 472.1% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 64.2% while distance sailed rose 84.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
