MSC CATERINA 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 95,403 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. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018–2020), then Madeira (2021–2025).
Its 23,828 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 46% above the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 960.7 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,651 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (54,795 t) and the lowest 2025 (23,828 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 33 in 2018 to 45 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 826 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 45th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 12.9.
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 1,844,295,666 tonne-miles over 24,803 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 56.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 39.9% while distance sailed fell 45.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
