LONDON EXPRESS against its type

Built in 1998, it is 10 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 53,523 gross tonnage it is larger than 55% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 15 container ships here under the Bermuda flag, 0.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Hamilton as port of registry.

Its 29,170 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.8 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 529.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,721 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (40,099 t) and the lowest 2019 (22,356 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2018 to 54 in 2025 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,002 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 54th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 15.5.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,880,700,193 tonne-miles over 55,138 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 6.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 27.3% while distance sailed fell 32.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2025 emissions occurred

Methane, nitrous oxide and EU ETS2025

Total CO₂ equivalent: 29,626 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.46 t
Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 1.67 t
