MAERSK DAKAR: CO₂ emissions 2019–2025

MAERSK DAKAR against its type

Built in 2004, it is 4 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 25,406 gross tonnage it is smaller than 72% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 61 other vessels here, 49 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MAERSK DAKAR for 2019–2023 and MSC EAGLE III for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2019–2023), then Monrovia (2024–2025).

Its 10,251 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 37% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 333.6 kg CO₂, 39% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,867 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (12,227 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,715 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 68 in 2019 to 78 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 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 1,429 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 78th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 24.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 420,624,538 tonne-miles over 30,731 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 38.3% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 69.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
