SAFMARINE NOKWANDA against its type
Built in 2005, it is 3 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 50,624 gross tonnage it is larger than 51% 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. The same builder is recorded for 64 other vessels here, 53 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it SAFMARINE NOKWANDA for 2019–2022 and MAERSK NOKWANDA for 2023–2025. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.
Its 42,497 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.6 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 582.5 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,596 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (42,497 t) and the lowest 2021 (12,179 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 64 in 2019 to 50 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 926 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 50th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 14.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,967,641,062 tonne-miles over 72,957 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 95.2% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 31.5% while distance sailed rose 22.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
