MSC BOSPHORUS against its type
Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 75,484 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Cyprus flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 87 other vessels here, 22 of them container ships. Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd. is linked to 43 vessels on this register.
Its 7,881 t of CO₂ for 2020 is 53% below the median of 16,763 t among the 1,837 container ships on this register that reported for 2020. Per nautical mile it emitted 895.7 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 536.8 kg. It logged 453 hours at sea against a median of 2,806 hours for its type that year. 0.8% of its 2020 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.7%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 43 in 2019 to 42 in 2020 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2020 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
No EU/EEA voyages were reported for 2021: zero CO₂ and zero time at sea, left out of the trend and of any ranking.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 649 of 1,525 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 42nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.9; this vessel reported 14.0.
Across the 36 ranked vessels operated by Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd., the median percentile is 66. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 563,310,222 tonne-miles over 8,798 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2020 was 62.9% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2019 to 2020, emissions fell 62.9% while distance sailed fell 69.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 20.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
