CMA CGM MARCO POLO against its type

Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 175,343 gross tonnage it is larger than 94% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 69 container ships here under the United Kingdom flag, 2.0% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. CMA CGM is linked to 40 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2019), then Nassau (2020–2023).

Its 6,021 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 59% below the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 881.1 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 420 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 0.7% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (75,330 t) and the lowest 2022 (5,792 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 8 in both 2018 and 2023.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 127 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 8th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 6.8.

Across the 39 ranked vessels operated by CMA CGM, the median percentile is 26. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 891,927,407 tonne-miles over 6,833 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 92.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions rose 3.9% while distance sailed rose 25.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 17.0%.
