ULSAN against its type

Built in 2002, it is 6 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 40,108 gross tonnage it is smaller than 55% 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 reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2024).

Its 19,322 t of CO₂ for 2024 is close to the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 494.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 3,071 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 0.4% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (19,322 t) and the lowest 2020 (7,519 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2018 to 55 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2024 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 908 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 55th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 16.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,164,698,011 tonne-miles over 39,110 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 13.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 65.4% while distance sailed rose 44.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 7 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking and 4 of 5 vessel particulars. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a name history, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
