MAERSK CANDOR against its type

Built in 2022, it is 14 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 149,944 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% 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 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. The returns for 2023–2025 all give London as port of registry.

Its 63,554 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.9 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 787.5 kg CO₂, 44% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,049 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (63,554 t) and the lowest 2023 (8,250 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 15 in 2023 to 21 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 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 383 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 21st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 8.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 7,611,201,198 tonne-miles over 80,703 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 670.4% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 35.8% while distance sailed rose 43.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
