COSCO BELGIUM against its type
Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 153,666 gross tonnage it is larger than 93% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 202 container ships here under the Hong Kong flag, 5.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The returns for 2019–2022 all give HONGKONG as port of registry.
Its 54,372 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 3.5 times the median of 15,388 t among the 1,858 container ships on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 939.0 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 539.7 kg. It logged 4,005 hours at sea against a median of 2,699 hours for its type that year. 2.3% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (68,404 t) and the lowest 2020 (26,011 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 23 in 2019 to 21 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 332 of 1,589 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 21st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.9; this vessel reported 10.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 5,356,856,158 tonne-miles over 57,902 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 9.9% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions fell 20.5% while distance sailed fell 17.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
