CMA CGM PALAIS ROYAL 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). At 236,583 gross tonnage it is larger than 100% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 32 container ships here under the France flag, 0.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Marseille as port of registry.

Its 63,561 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.9 times the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 849.9 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,608 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (80,053 t) and the lowest 2020 (7,010 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 0 in 2020 to 5 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
