CYPRESS: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

CYPRESS 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 91,585 gross tonnage it is larger than 72% 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 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MSC SAVANNAH for 2018 and CYPRESS for 2020–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 35,382 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.2 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 759.2 kg CO₂, 39% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,067 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (82,664 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,358 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 56 in 2018 to 32 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 579 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 32nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 10.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,445,202,532 tonne-miles over 46,603 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 86.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 57.2% while distance sailed fell 51.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
