Yang Ming — container fleet

12 ships0.12 Mt CO₂ in 2025

The Yang Ming container fleet counts 12 ships reporting under the EU MRV regulation — the 30th largest reporting fleet — with a combined 0.12 Mt of verified CO₂ emissions in 2025. Every figure on this page comes from the yearly verified reports each ship files with EMSA.

Its total emissions went from 0.06 Mt of CO₂ in 2018 to 0.12 Mt in 2025, a trajectory that reflects both fleet size and operational efficiency choices such as slow steaming and vessel upgrades.

Yang Ming Marine Transport, founded in 1972 and partly owned by the Taiwanese state, is the quieter of Taiwan's two container majors. It operates a balanced fleet of owned and chartered vessels topping out around 24,000 TEU, and has renewed its mid-size segment with fuel-efficient 15,000 TEU class ships. In 2025 it joined the Premier Alliance with ONE and HMM after the reshuffle triggered by Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd's Gemini pact.

Yang Ming's verified MRV footprint is mid-sized but instructive: its recent eco-design deliveries sit well below the container fleet's average CO₂ intensity, while its older charters illustrate the efficiency gap between shipping's generations — the spread our per-ship data makes visible.
