MSC DESIREE 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 96,816 gross tonnage it is larger than 78% 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. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Madeira as port of registry.
Its 52,944 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 3.0 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 865.0 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 4,264 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 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (52,944 t) and the lowest 2020 (5,613 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 24 in 2018 to 57 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 945 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 57th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 17.2.
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 3,069,229,565 tonne-miles over 61,209 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 169.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 1.8% while distance sailed fell 10.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.0%.
