MAERSK DOUALA: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

MAERSK DOUALA 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. Maersk A/S is linked to 15 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it MAERSK DOUALA for 2018–2023 and MSC FALCON III for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2018–2023), then MONROVIA (2024–2025).

Its 1,922 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 88% 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 372.1 kg CO₂, 32% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 568 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (13,457 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,922 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 52 in 2018 to 58 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 83.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 56.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

• Emissions: EU MRV publication (THETIS-MRV), reporting years 2018–2025, published by the European Commission.
• Vessel particulars: Wikidata (CC0).

This page draws on 8 MRV reporting years, 5 of 5 vessel particulars and a name history. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
