CMA CGM RABELAIS 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 72,884 gross tonnage it is larger than 63% 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 196 other vessels here, 17 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 15,538 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 13% 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 649.1 kg CO₂, 23% above the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 1,652 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (43,240 t) and the lowest 2021 (8,878 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 36 in 2018 to 33 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 551 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 33rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 11.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,365,369,068 tonne-miles over 23,937 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 64.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2024, emissions rose 75.0% while distance sailed rose 117.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 19.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
