CMA CGM QUELIMANE against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 26,638 gross tonnage it is smaller than 69% 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 41 other vessels here, 5 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it SEOUL TOWER for 2018 and CMA CGM QUELIMANE for 2023–2024. The reported port of registry changed: London (2018), then Valletta (2023–2024).
Its 3,283 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 82% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 362.7 kg CO₂, 31% below the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 702 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (11,423 t) and the lowest 2024 (3,283 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 0 in 2018 to 60 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 22.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 71.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
