MSC BUSAN 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 89,954 gross tonnage it is larger than 70% 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 133 other vessels here, 105 of them container ships. CPO Containerschiffreederei is linked to 60 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Hamburg (2018–2019), then Madeira (2020–2025).
Its 14,128 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 14% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 901.9 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,004 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (51,486 t) and the lowest 2025 (14,128 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 22 in 2018 to 33 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 601 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 33rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 10.4.
Across the 54 ranked vessels operated by CPO Containerschiffreederei, the median percentile is 48. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,355,889,635 tonne-miles over 15,665 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 68.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 61.3% while distance sailed fell 61.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
