COSCO SHANGHAI against its type
Built in 2001, it is 7 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 65,531 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 69 container ships here under the United Kingdom flag, 2.0% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 31 other vessels here. The returns for 2024–2025 all give london as port of registry.
Its 32,884 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 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 549.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,739 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 13.2% higher than in 2024, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 13.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
