ESPERANCE against its type

Built in 2011, it is 3 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 17,368 gross tonnage it is smaller than 79% 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 returns for 2018–2025 all give Harlingen as port of registry.

Its 12,732 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 22% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 302.2 kg CO₂, 45% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,845 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.0% 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 (16,154 t) and the lowest 2023 (11,414 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 78 in 2018 to 86 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,582 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 86th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 32.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 389,967,534 tonne-miles over 42,132 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 21.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 12.2% while distance sailed fell 16.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
