KOTOR BAY against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 94,511 gross tonnage it is larger than 76% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% 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 KOTOR BAY for 2020–2021 and MSC RIKKU for 2022–2024. The reported port of registry changed: Singapore (2020–2021), then Madeira (2022–2024).
Its 1,243 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 93% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 817.1 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 215 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 21.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (44,242 t) and the lowest 2024 (1,243 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 96 in 2020 to 35 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 93.2% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 74.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
