CORNELIA I: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

CORNELIA I against its type

Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 54,182 gross tonnage it is larger than 55% 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 CORNELIA I for 2018–2020 and MSC CORNELIA for 2022–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 44,963 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.7 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 649.9 kg CO₂, 19% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,087 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (49,220 t) and the lowest 2023 (33,145 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 72 in 2022 to 65 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,203 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 65th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 18.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,417,346,237 tonne-miles over 69,181 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 8.7% lower than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 0.4% while distance sailed fell 5.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.6%.
