MAERKS DETROIT against its type
Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median container ship on this register (build year 2008, 3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 74,642 gross tonnage it is larger than 64% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 69 container ships here under the United Kingdom flag, 2.0% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 133 other vessels here, 105 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MAERKS DETROIT for 2018–2020 and MAERSK DETROIT for 2021–2024. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Norfolk as port of registry.
Its 60,232 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 3.4 times the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 651.3 kg CO₂, 23% above the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 5,329 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 0.2% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (60,232 t) and the lowest 2023 (26,165 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 17 in 2018 to 26 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 435 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 26th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 9.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 6,127,370,295 tonne-miles over 92,485 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 86.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 130.2% while distance sailed rose 111.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
