MAERSK KAMPALA against its type
Built in 2001, it is 7 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 80,609 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MAERSK KAMPALA for 2018–2020 and W KAMPALA for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Rotterdam (2018–2019), then Majuro (2020–2025).
Its 23,916 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 46% above the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 615.0 kg CO₂, 13% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,957 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (36,434 t) and the lowest 2020 (865 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 49 in 2021 to 32 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 584 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 32nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 10.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,321,944,660 tonne-miles over 38,889 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 881.9% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 29.7% while distance sailed fell 21.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
