SANTA URSULA: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

SANTA URSULA against its type

Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 86,601 gross tonnage it is larger than 68% 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 31,211 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.9 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 717.7 kg CO₂, 32% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,543 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (76,305 t) and the lowest 2022 (1,911 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 39 in 2018 to 41 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 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 747 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 41st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 11.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,642,734,124 tonne-miles over 43,485 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 36.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 26.1% while distance sailed rose 11.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 13.6%.
