MSC ATHOS 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 336 container ships here under the Malta flag, 9.6% 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), then Valletta (2024–2025).

Its 43,873 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.7 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 975.0 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,180 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 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (64,087 t) and the lowest 2020 (23,884 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 27 in 2018 to 53 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
