MAERSK KARACHI against its type
Built in 1998, it is 10 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 80,942 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 202 container ships here under the Hong Kong flag, 5.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 87 other vessels here, 22 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 57,418 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 3.2 times the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 735.1 kg CO₂, 39% above the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 4,769 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (57,418 t) and the lowest 2018 (993 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 22 in 2022 to 35 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2024 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 578 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 35th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 11.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 4,890,800,681 tonne-miles over 78,106 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 5,680.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 238.7% while distance sailed rose 181.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 20.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
