CMA CGM LOTUS against its type
Built in 1999, it is 8 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 8,443 gross tonnage it is larger than 60% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 2 general cargo ships here under the Egypt flag, 0.1% of the 3,081 on the register. Its MRV returns name it CMA CGM LOTUS for 2019 and LOTUS for 2020–2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Alexandria as port of registry.
Its 1,516 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 46% below the median of 2,820 t among the 2,469 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 209.5 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 620 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 3.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (1,516 t) and the lowest 2022 (145 t). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 911.2% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 4.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
