IKARIA 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 66,332 gross tonnage it is larger than 60% 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 98 other vessels here, 35 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it IKARIA for 2023 and MSC IKARIA VI for 2024–2025. The returns for 2023–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 34,444 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.1 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 689.4 kg CO₂, 26% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,928 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.1% 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 (34,444 t) and the lowest 2023 (4,889 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 59 in 2023 to 47 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 870 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 13.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,527,073,368 tonne-miles over 49,962 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 604.5% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 313.8% while distance sailed rose 283.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
