HAMBURG EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2024, it is 16 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 229,376 gross tonnage it is larger than 98% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 63 container ships here under the Germany flag, 1.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 6 other vessels here, all of them container ships. Hapag-Lloyd is linked to 28 vessels on this register. The returns for 2024–2025 all give HAMBURG as port of registry.
Its 67,618 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 4.1 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 937.8 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,464 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 0 in 2024 to 1 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 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 26 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 1st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 5.6.
Across the 24 ranked vessels operated by Hapag-Lloyd, the median percentile is 29. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 12,096,178,891 tonne-miles over 72,101 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 593.3% higher than in 2024, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 593.3% while distance sailed rose 452.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 25.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
