MOL TRADITION against its type
Built in 2017, it is 9 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 210,678 gross tonnage it is larger than 97% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 22 container ships here under the Japan flag, 0.6% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MOL TRADITION for 2018–2021 and ONE TRADITION for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2021), then TOKYO (2022–2025).
Its 43,569 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.7 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 844.5 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,396 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (43,569 t) and the lowest 2021 (20,550 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 13 in 2018 to 8 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 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 142 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 8th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 6.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 6,561,605,422 tonne-miles over 51,591 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 80.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 34.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
