ARICA: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

ARICA against its type

Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 32,901 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. Its MRV returns name it ARICA for 2018, ROBIN 4 for 2019–2023 and MSC MELANI III for 2024–2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 27,226 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.7 times the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 490.3 kg CO₂, 10% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,218 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (32,952 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,098 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 73 in 2018 to 89 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,641 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 89th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 36.5.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 745,723,637 tonne-miles over 55,529 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 17.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 61.1% while distance sailed rose 40.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 15.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
