LUDWIGSHAFEN EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2014, it is 6 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 142,295 gross tonnage it is larger than 88% 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 2018–2025 all give Hamburg as port of registry.
Its 16,771 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 878.6 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,265 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.6% 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 (31,957 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,817 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 19 in 2018 to 49 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 908 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 49th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 14.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,182,740,480 tonne-miles over 19,088 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 822.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 47.5% while distance sailed fell 50.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
