METHONI against its type
Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 73,819 gross tonnage it is larger than 64% 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 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MSC METHONI for 2018–2019 and METHONI for 2021–2023. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 36,183 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 2.5 times the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 713.9 kg CO₂, 40% above the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 3,280 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 6.2% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (53,249 t) and the lowest 2021 (8,297 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 45 in 2018 to 47 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 778 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 16.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,264,290,989 tonne-miles over 50,683 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 32.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 3.2% while distance sailed rose 4.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.7%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
