MSC ALICANTE against its type
Built in 2011, it is 3 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 61,870 gross tonnage it is larger than 58% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 336 container ships here under the Malta flag, 9.6% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 86 other vessels here, 35 of them container ships. CPO Containerschiffreederei is linked to 60 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2022), then Valletta (2023–2025).
Its 41,406 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.5 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 681.9 kg CO₂, 25% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,963 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (65,423 t) and the lowest 2024 (20,571 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 41 in 2018 to 59 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,077 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 59th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 16.6.
Across the 54 ranked vessels operated by CPO Containerschiffreederei, the median percentile is 48. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,488,346,755 tonne-miles over 60,718 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 16.3% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 101.3% while distance sailed rose 80.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
