MAERSK YORKTOWN 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 24,488 gross tonnage it is smaller than 73% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 7 container ships here under the United States flag, 0.2% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 35 other vessels here, 26 of them container ships. The returns for 2020–2023 all give Norfolk as port of registry.
Its 10,508 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 28% below the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 304.6 kg CO₂, 40% below the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 2,787 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 1.3% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (15,415 t) and the lowest 2019 (9,190 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 89 in 2019 to 81 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,348 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 81st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 33.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 318,245,609 tonne-miles over 34,505 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 14.3% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 31.3% while distance sailed fell 27.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
