COSCO FRANCE 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 2018–2025 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 40,056 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.4 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 1,010.0 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,510 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (85,576 t) and the lowest 2023 (15,461 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 14 in 2018 to 38 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 703 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 38th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 11.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,529,176,212 tonne-miles over 39,661 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 90.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 159.1% while distance sailed rose 172.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
