MSC CARLOTTA against its type

Built in 2017, it is 9 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 102,492 gross tonnage it is larger than 80% 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. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The returns for 2019–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 16,375 t of CO₂ for 2024 is close to the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 792.6 kg CO₂, 50% above the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 1,521 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 4.6% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (43,365 t) and the lowest 2024 (16,375 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 32 in 2018 to 39 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2024 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 648 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 39th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 12.7.

Across the 103 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL, the median percentile is 37. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,292,423,047 tonne-miles over 20,659 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 61.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 43.3% while distance sailed fell 42.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
