MAERSK CONGO against its type
Built in 2011, it is 3 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 50,869 gross tonnage it is larger than 52% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 362 container ships here under the Singapore flag, 10.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 86 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Singapore as port of registry.
Its 25,535 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 44% above the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 435.1 kg CO₂, 18% below the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 5,355 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 0.7% 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 (25,535 t) and the lowest 2018 (3,024 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 43 in 2020 to 57 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 947 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 57th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 17.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,478,561,668 tonne-miles over 58,687 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 744.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 151.5% while distance sailed rose 132.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
