MSC BRUNELLA against its type

Built in 2015, it is 7 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 95,497 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 146 other vessels here, 43 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018–2020), then Madeira (2021–2025).

Its 31,100 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 1,031.8 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,102 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.8% 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 (59,487 t) and the lowest 2019 (16,849 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 21 in 2018 to 52 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 960 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 52nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 14.9.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 52nd percentile, EEOI 14.9

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

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,092,848,587 tonne-miles over 30,140 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 9.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 13.3% while distance sailed fell 20.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
