HONG KONG EXPRESS against its type

Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 60,481 gross tonnage it is larger than 58% 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 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Hamburg as port of registry.

Its 3,882 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 73% below the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,037.4 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 252 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 6.0% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (35,713 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,882 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 15 in 2019 to 34 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2023 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 type2023

Position 575 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 34th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 12.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 307,604,596 tonne-miles over 3,742 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 89.1% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 73.0% while distance sailed fell 75.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 10.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
