MSC BRIDGE against its type

Built in 1998, it is 4 years older than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 21,104 gross tonnage it is smaller than 50% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 14 ro-ro ships here under the Cyprus flag, 4.5% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 1 other vessel here, also a ro-ro ship. The returns for 2018–2025 all give LIMASSOL as port of registry.

Its 12,848 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 40% below the median of 21,362 t among the 238 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 376.3 kg CO₂, 15% above the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 3,723 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 12.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (15,872 t) and the lowest 2018 (9,484 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2018 to 24 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 46 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 24th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 60.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 213,141,340 tonne-miles over 34,142 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 35.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 2.0% while distance sailed rose 2.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.9%.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: 13,050 t
Methane (CH₄): 0.21 t
Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 0.74 t
Under EU ETS: 7,319 t, 57% of total
