XIN YAN TAI 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 66,452 gross tonnage it is larger than 61% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 31 container ships here under the China flag, 0.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 204 other vessels here, 32 of them container ships. The reported port of registry changed: shanghai (2018–2020), then YANG SHAN CHINA (2022–2023).

Its 22,473 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 1.5 times the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 763.7 kg CO₂, 50% above the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 1,914 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 2.6% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (23,254 t) and the lowest 2018 (3,094 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 49 in 2019 to 52 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023

Position 871 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 52nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 18.1.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,238,865,491 tonne-miles over 29,426 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 626.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 3.4% while distance sailed rose 3.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.9%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
