MSC ABIDJAN 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 95,390 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% 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 196 other vessels here, 17 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2019), then Portugal (madeira) (2020), then Madeira (2024–2025).
Its 34,239 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 948.4 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,423 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (47,028 t) and the lowest 2018 (3,637 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 57 in both 2018 and 2025. Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,046 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 57th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 16.1.
Across the 103 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL, the median percentile is 37. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,120,063,158 tonne-miles over 36,104 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 841.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 11.9% while distance sailed fell 19.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 9.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
