MSC CAROLINA 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 65,483 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 387 container ships here under the Panama flag, 11.1% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The returns for 2021–2023 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 35,548 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 2.4 times the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 662.0 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 3,873 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (67,821 t) and the lowest 2018 (23,124 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 56 in 2018 to 59 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 977 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 59th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 20.1.
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 1,772,100,199 tonne-miles over 53,698 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 53.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 47.6% while distance sailed fell 33.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 21.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
