MSC ALMA VII against its type
Built in 2000, it is 8 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 74,586 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 983 other vessels here, 86 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it SEALAND WASHINGTON for 2018–2022 and MSC ALMA VII for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018), then Hong Kong (2019–2022), then Monrovia (2023).
Its 20,369 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 39% above the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 660.2 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 2,528 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 3.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (57,048 t) and the lowest 2023 (20,369 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 45 in 2018 to 32 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 530 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 32nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 12.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,701,690,058 tonne-miles over 30,854 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 64.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 37.4% while distance sailed fell 39.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
