MSC AMBRA against its type

Built in 2020, it is 12 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 232,618 gross tonnage it is larger than 99% 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 returns for 2020–2025 all give panama as port of registry.

Its 61,483 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.8 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 1,262.5 kg CO₂, 2.3 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,086 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (69,332 t) and the lowest 2021 (16,971 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 12 in 2020 to 20 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 376 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 20th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 8.3.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 60.3% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 11.3% while distance sailed fell 20.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
