CAPE MOSS against its type
Built in 2011, it is 3 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 35,878 gross tonnage it is smaller than 60% 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 101 other vessels here, 74 of them container ships. Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd. is linked to 43 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it CAPE MOSS for 2020–2024 and MSC MOSS III for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2020–2024), then Madeira (2025).
Its 13,780 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 16% 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 467.1 kg CO₂, 14% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,951 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 6.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (13,780 t) and the lowest 2020 (695 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 76 in 2022 to 81 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.
