MURCIA MAERSK against its type
Built in 2018, it is 10 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 212,400 gross tonnage it is larger than 97% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Denmark flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. The reported port of registry changed: Copenhagen (2018), then Kobenhavn (2019–2025).
Its 71,074 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 4.3 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 939.5 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,726 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.0% 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 (71,152 t) and the lowest 2020 (26,026 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 0 in 2018 to 5 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
