MAERSK ESMERALDAS against its type
Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 141,754 gross tonnage it is larger than 87% 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 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. The returns for 2020–2021 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 2,486 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 85% below the median of 16,246 t among the 1,825 container ships on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,101.6 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 562.2 kg. It logged 136 hours at sea against a median of 2,808 hours for its type that year. 6.5% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (32,358 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,486 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 26 in 2018 to 33 in 2021 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 516 of 1,557 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 33rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.2; this vessel reported 12.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 195,631,786 tonne-miles over 2,257 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 79.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 90.1% while distance sailed fell 91.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 20.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
