COSCO SHIPPING SOLAR against its type

Built in 2019, it is 11 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 216,359 gross tonnage it is larger than 98% 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 same builder is recorded for 194 other vessels here, 10 of them container ships. COSCO Shipping Lines is linked to 2 vessels on this register. The returns for 2021–2025 all give Hong Kong, China as port of registry.

Its 87,558 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 5.4 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 968.5 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,683 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (87,558 t) and the lowest 2021 (44,875 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 9 in 2021 to 23 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 419 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 23rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 8.7.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 10,110,668,591 tonne-miles over 90,403 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 95.1% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 9.7% while distance sailed rose 6.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
