MSC BHAVYA: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

MSC BHAVYA against its type

Built in 2005, it is 3 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 54,771 gross tonnage it is larger than 57% 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 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it MSC BHAVYA for 2018–2022 and MSC BHAVYA V for 2023–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 31,397 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.9 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 574.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,858 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (84,920 t) and the lowest 2022 (13,399 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2018 to 66 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 1,206 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 66th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 18.6.

Across the 102 ranked vessels operated by MSC Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 59. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,684,372,854 tonne-miles over 54,643 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 61.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 18.1% while distance sailed fell 23.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
