FRANKFURT EXPRESS against its type

Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 93,750 gross tonnage it is larger than 74% 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. Hapag-Lloyd is linked to 28 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Hamburg (2018–2023), then Monrovia (2024–2025).

Its 67,648 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 3.8 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 797.5 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 5,590 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 1.2% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (67,648 t) and the lowest 2019 (3,646 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 33 in 2018 to 30 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 494 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 30th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 10.7.

Across the 24 ranked vessels operated by Hapag-Lloyd, the median percentile is 29. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 6,322,224,299 tonne-miles over 84,824 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 397.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 1,476.9% while distance sailed rose 1,537.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
