MSC CATHERINE VI against its type

Built in 2001, it is 7 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 75,201 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% 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. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it CATHERINE C for 2019–2021 and MSC CATHERINE VI for 2022–2024. The returns for 2019–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 36,226 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 2.0 times the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 666.0 kg CO₂, 26% above the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 3,829 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 5.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (62,438 t) and the lowest 2019 (9,772 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 54 in both 2019 and 2024. The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 902 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 54th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 16.4.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,203,538,321 tonne-miles over 54,390 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 270.7% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 17.0% while distance sailed fell 13.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
