Total emissions from global containerships remained largely unchanged in the third quarter of 2025, even as the number of voyages rose, according to a new report by maritime analytics firm, VesselBot.
The study, Decoding Maritime Emissions, Q3 2025: Containership Emissions and Traffic on the Rise , analysed 73 353 voyages completed by 4 750 vessels between July and September.
It provides detailed insights into fleet performance, including vessel size, age, shipbuilding origin and trade routes, at a time of heightened regulatory uncertainty and ongoing trade disruptions.
