ROME EXPRESS 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 140,259 gross tonnage it is larger than 86% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG is linked to 65 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Madeira (2018), then Skovshoved (2019–2021), then Madeira (2024–2025).

Its 7,216 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 56% below the median of 16,246 t among the 1,825 container ships on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 928.5 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 562.2 kg. It logged 638 hours at sea against a median of 2,808 hours for its type that year. 7.0% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (58,381 t) and the lowest 2021 (7,216 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 12 in 2018 to 20 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2021 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2024, 2025: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2021

Position 317 of 1,557 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 20th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.2; this vessel reported 10.0.

Across the 56 ranked vessels operated by Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG, the median percentile is 69. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 724,454,819 tonne-miles over 7,771 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 87.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 60.5% while distance sailed fell 62.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
