VOLGA MAERSK against its type
Built in 2018, it is 10 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 34,882 gross tonnage it is smaller than 61% 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 reported port of registry changed: Copenhagen (2018), then Kobenhavn (2019–2025).
Its 28,329 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.7 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 351.6 kg CO₂, 36% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,782 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (28,329 t) and the lowest 2018 (12,854 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 37 in 2018 to 48 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 888 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 48th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 13.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,045,408,664 tonne-miles over 80,576 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 120.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 2.5% while distance sailed fell 1.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.3%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
