DALIAN EXPRESS 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 88,493 gross tonnage it is larger than 69% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. The reported port of registry changed: Hamburg (2021–2022), then Monrovia (2023–2024).
Its 53,998 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 3.0 times the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 803.3 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 4,141 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 1.8% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (53,998 t) and the lowest 2021 (11,037 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 36 in 2021 to 33 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 546 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 33rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 11.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 4,770,169,611 tonne-miles over 67,223 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 389.3% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 123.7% while distance sailed rose 125.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
