MSC ARICA 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). 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. Mediterranean Shipping Company is linked to 44 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018), then Liberia (2019–2020), then MONROVIA (2021–2025).

Its 45,196 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.8 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 781.3 kg CO₂, 43% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,560 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 7.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (45,196 t) and the lowest 2023 (14,311 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 23 in 2018 to 43 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 785 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 43rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 12.3.

Across the 34 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company, the median percentile is 52. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,668,510,552 tonne-miles over 57,848 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 22.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 9.3% while distance sailed fell 2.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 12.1%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
