MSC ALABAMA against its type
Built in 1996, it is 12 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 37,518 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 387 container ships here under the Panama flag, 11.1% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2019 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 23,548 t of CO₂ for 2019 is 26% above the median of 18,616 t among the 1,830 container ships on this register that reported for 2019. Per nautical mile it emitted 441.5 kg CO₂, 18% below the type median of 535.7 kg. It logged 3,708 hours at sea against a median of 3,398 hours for its type that year. 3.4% of its 2019 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.5%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 40 in 2018 to 66 in 2019 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2019 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2019
Position 1,020 of 1,549 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 66th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.0; this vessel reported 22.5.
Across the 102 ranked vessels operated by MSC Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 59. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,044,716,504 tonne-miles over 53,336 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2019 was 303.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2018 to 2019, emissions rose 303.8% while distance sailed rose 332.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
