MSC ELA against its type

Built in 2004, it is 4 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 54,304 gross tonnage it is larger than 56% 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 133 other vessels here, 105 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 47,292 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.9 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 590.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,349 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (50,675 t) and the lowest 2023 (735 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 57 in 2018 to 68 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,242 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 68th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 19.4.

Across the 102 ranked vessels operated by MSC Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 59. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,439,009,799 tonne-miles over 80,105 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 6.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 9.0% while distance sailed rose 0.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.2%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
