MSC ARAINA III against its type
Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median container ship on this register (build year 2008, 3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 36,007 gross tonnage it is smaller than 59% 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. Its MRV returns name it NORTHERN DEPENDANT for 2018 and MSC ARAINA III for 2025.
Its 15,080 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 581.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,828 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%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 56 in 2018 to 76 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,397 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 76th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 23.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 648,585,376 tonne-miles over 25,926 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 50.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2025, emissions rose 50.4% while distance sailed rose 20.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 24.5%.
