ALDEBARAN against its type
Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median container ship on this register (build year 2008, 3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 32,903 gross tonnage it is smaller than 62% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 80 other vessels here, 41 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it ALDEBARAN for 2018–2021 and MSC ALDEBARAN III for 2022. The reported port of registry changed: Valetta (2018–2019), then Monrovia (2020–2022).
Its 32,167 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 2.1 times the median of 15,388 t among the 1,858 container ships on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 474.2 kg CO₂, 12% below the type median of 539.7 kg. It logged 4,658 hours at sea against a median of 2,699 hours for its type that year. 3.6% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (32,167 t) and the lowest 2019 (2,693 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 74 in 2018 to 72 in 2022 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 1,137 of 1,589 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 72nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.9; this vessel reported 25.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,244,869,195 tonne-miles over 67,828 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 278.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions rose 581.3% while distance sailed rose 531.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
