EMPIRE against its type

Built in 2009, it is 1 year newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 15,924 gross tonnage it is smaller than 83% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 21 container ships here under the Netherlands flag, 0.6% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 43 other vessels here, 30 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Harlingen as port of registry.

Its 15,306 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 271.9 kg CO₂, 50% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,525 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 8.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (17,311 t) and the lowest 2023 (12,765 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2018 to 81 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,488 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 81st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 26.6.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 11.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 14.4% while distance sailed rose 11.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
