HYUNDAI EARTH against its type
Built in 2016, it is 8 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 110,632 gross tonnage it is larger than 81% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 69 container ships here under the United Kingdom flag, 2.0% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it MSC EARTH for 2019 and HYUNDAI EARTH for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: London (2019), then Monrovia (2020), then London (2025).
Its 30,971 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.9 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 639.4 kg CO₂, 17% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,636 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (30,971 t) and the lowest 2020 (8,160 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 0 in 2020 to 28 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 523 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 28th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 9.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,212,809,129 tonne-miles over 48,441 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 107.1% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2025, emissions rose 279.6% while distance sailed rose 365.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 18.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
