MOL EMPIRE against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years 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 202 container ships here under the Hong Kong flag, 5.8% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it MOL EMPIRE for 2018–2021 and SEASPAN EMPIRE for 2022–2023. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 3,714 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 75% 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 503.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 498 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 0.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (41,519 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,714 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 58 in 2018 to 62 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 91.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 32.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 27.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
