BRIGHT HORIZON against its type
Built in 2002, it is 6 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 23,132 gross tonnage it is smaller than 74% 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 146 other vessels here, 43 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it BRIGHT HORIZON for 2018–2021 and MSC MADISON II for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2021), then Monrovia (2022–2025).
Its 9,647 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 41% 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 312.6 kg CO₂, 43% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,257 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 7.5% 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 (21,657 t) and the lowest 2023 (7,937 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 93 in 2022 to 76 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
