MSC ALTAMIRA against its type

Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 94,017 gross tonnage it is larger than 74% 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 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. The returns for 2022–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 10,105 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 38% 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 868.7 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 782 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (94,357 t) and the lowest 2024 (9,522 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 40 in 2018 to 52 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 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 966 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 52nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 14.9.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 52nd percentile, EEOI 14.9

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 676,398,929 tonne-miles over 11,633 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 89.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 6.1% while distance sailed fell 0.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.4%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
