MOL EMISSARY against its type

Built in 2009, it is 1 year newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 54,940 gross tonnage it is larger than 57% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 362 container ships here under the Singapore flag, 10.4% 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 MOL EMISSARY for 2018–2021 and SEASPAN EMISSARY for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2024), then Singapore (2025).

Its 26,196 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 times the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 500.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,289 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (58,791 t) and the lowest 2023 (22,161 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 52 in 2018 to 51 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 942 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 51st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 14.6.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 51st percentile, EEOI 14.6

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,796,685,185 tonne-miles over 52,292 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 55.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 38.6% while distance sailed fell 37.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
