YM ESSENCE against its type
Built in 2014, it is 6 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 47,952 gross tonnage it is larger than 50% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 6 container ships here under the Taiwan flag, 0.2% of the 3,495 on the register. The returns for 2018–2021 all give Keelung as port of registry.
Its 11,751 t of CO₂ for 2021 is 28% below the median of 16,246 t among the 1,825 container ships on this register that reported for 2021. Per nautical mile it emitted 396.1 kg CO₂, 30% below the type median of 562.2 kg. It logged 2,140 hours at sea against a median of 2,808 hours for its type that year. 1.4% of its 2021 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (57,554 t) and the lowest 2021 (11,751 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 57 in 2018 to 55 in 2021 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2021 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2021
Position 857 of 1,557 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 55th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.2; this vessel reported 17.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 666,937,003 tonne-miles over 29,665 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2021 was 79.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2020 to 2021, emissions fell 58.9% while distance sailed fell 56.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
