MSC ELSA 3 against its type

Built in 1997, it is 11 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 16,799 gross tonnage it is smaller than 81% 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 80 other vessels here, 41 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The returns for 2019–2022 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 1,904 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 88% below the median of 15,388 t among the 1,858 container ships on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 341.0 kg CO₂, 37% below the type median of 539.7 kg. It logged 478 hours at sea against a median of 2,699 hours for its type that year. 4.2% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (2,736 t) and the lowest 2020 (308 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2022 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year

2019: 2,736 t20192,7362020: 308 t20202022: 1,904 t20221,904

Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 30.4% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2020 to 2022, emissions rose 517.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 31.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
