JPO LIBRA: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

JPO LIBRA against its type

Built in 2005, it is 3 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 41,359 gross tonnage it is smaller than 53% 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 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 20,532 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 26% above the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 503.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,965 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (26,570 t) and the lowest 2020 (9,599 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 90 in 2020 to 66 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,205 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 66th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 18.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,101,527,897 tonne-miles over 40,819 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 113.9% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 22.7% while distance sailed fell 23.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
