MAERSK KENSINGTON against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 74,642 gross tonnage it is larger than 64% 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 133 other vessels here, 105 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Norfolk as port of registry.
Its 7,973 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 51% 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 627.0 kg CO₂, 15% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 748 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 0.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (55,782 t) and the lowest 2025 (7,973 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 18 in 2018 to 25 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 458 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 25th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 9.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 884,910,100 tonne-miles over 12,716 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 78.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 85.7% while distance sailed fell 85.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
