MSC ALIX 3: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

MSC ALIX 3 against its type

Built in 1998, it is 10 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 25,499 gross tonnage it is smaller than 72% 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 16 other vessels here, 14 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 10,659 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 35% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 359.3 kg CO₂, 34% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,619 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 9.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (18,268 t) and the lowest 2018 (4,607 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 67 in 2018 to 73 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,342 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 73rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 22.0.

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 484,959,509 tonne-miles over 29,666 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 131.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 7.4% while distance sailed fell 8.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
