JOSEPH SCHULTE against its type

Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 94,402 gross tonnage it is larger than 74% 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 MSC ALGECIRAS for 2018–2019, JOSEPH SCHULTE for 2020–2022 and MSC NAIROBI X for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hong Kong (2018–2022), then Monrovia (2023–2025).

Its 29,341 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.8 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 775.6 kg CO₂, 42% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,858 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 7.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (45,600 t) and the lowest 2022 (357 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 25 in 2018 to 35 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 639 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 35th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 10.7.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,739,622,782 tonne-miles over 37,830 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 63.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 313.0% while distance sailed rose 304.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
