SEOUL EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2000, it is 8 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 54,465 gross tonnage it is larger than 56% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. Hapag-Lloyd is linked to 28 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Hamburg (2020–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2025).
Its 4,847 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 70% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 685.4 kg CO₂, 26% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 428 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (49,590 t) and the lowest 2025 (4,847 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 43 in 2020 to 61 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,117 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 61st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 17.2.
Across the 24 ranked vessels operated by Hapag-Lloyd, the median percentile is 29. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 281,826,163 tonne-miles over 7,072 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 61.8% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 90.2% while distance sailed fell 92.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 21.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
