ARCHIMIDIS against its type
Built in 2006, it is 2 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 89,776 gross tonnage it is larger than 70% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Cyprus flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company is linked to 44 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it ARCHIMIDIS for 2018–2019, MSC ARCHIMIDIS for 2022–2024 and MSC ARCHIMIDIS VIII for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: MONROVIA (2022–2024), then Limassol (2025).
Its 11,610 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 29% 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 952.6 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 870 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (48,881 t) and the lowest 2025 (11,610 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 46 in 2018 to 52 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 956 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 52nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 14.8.
Across the 34 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company, the median percentile is 52. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 785,004,733 tonne-miles over 12,188 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 62.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 11.4% while distance sailed fell 14.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
