MSC ATHENS against its type

Built in 2013, it is 5 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 95,390 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% 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 196 other vessels here, 17 of them container ships. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2022), then Monrovia (2023–2025).

Its 40,687 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.5 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 873.0 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,172 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.7% 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 (66,302 t) and the lowest 2020 (25,488 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 28 in 2018 to 41 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 762 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 41st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 11.9.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,410,497,066 tonne-miles over 46,607 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 38.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 6.3% while distance sailed fell 1.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.9%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.

Where the 2025 emissions occurred

Methane, nitrous oxide and EU ETS2025

Total CO₂ equivalent: 41,328 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.65 t
Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 2.35 t
