0208 MP THE GRONK 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 54,214 gross tonnage it is larger than 55% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 133 other vessels here, 105 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MP THE GRONK for 2018, 0208 MP THE GRONK for 2019, MSC MANZANILLO for 2022–2024 and MSC MANZANILLO V for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2019), then MADEIRA (2022–2025).
Its 14,698 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 10% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 570.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,970 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (49,369 t) and the lowest 2025 (14,698 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 32 in 2019 to 67 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,231 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 67th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 19.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 764,302,652 tonne-miles over 25,780 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 36.4% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 50.5% while distance sailed fell 49.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
