MSC ELLEN against its type

Built in 1999, it is 9 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 92,198 gross tonnage it is larger than 73% 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 64 other vessels here, 53 of them container ships. The returns for 2021–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 34,469 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 1.9 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 880.7 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 3,114 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 4.2% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (34,469 t) and the lowest 2022 (8,914 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 31 in 2021 to 29 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 480 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 29th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 10.5.

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 6.3% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 19.1% while distance sailed fell 9.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 31.9%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
