MSC CLAUDE GIRARDET against its type

Built in 2023, it is 15 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 235,651 gross tonnage it is larger than 100% 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 204 other vessels here, 32 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company is linked to 44 vessels on this register. The returns for 2023–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 58,677 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.6 times the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,180.0 kg CO₂, 2.2 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,407 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (82,685 t) and the lowest 2023 (10,530 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 1 in 2023 to 8 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
