ZIM VIRGINIA 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 53,453 gross tonnage it is larger than 55% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 2 container ships here under the Israel flag, 0.1% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships.
Its 30,187 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.8 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 629.1 kg CO₂, 15% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,593 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (32,744 t) and the lowest 2023 (20,600 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 75 in 2023 to 79 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 1,459 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 79th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 25.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,192,232,622 tonne-miles over 47,988 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 46.5% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 7.8% while distance sailed fell 12.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 5.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
