MSC ERICA against its type

Built in 2016, it is 8 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 194,308 gross tonnage it is larger than 96% 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 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018–2020), then Monrovia (2021–2025).

Its 42,392 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.6 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 1,078.0 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,642 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 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (66,008 t) and the lowest 2021 (11,657 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 9 in 2018 to 10 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Position 183 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 10th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 7.0.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 10th percentile, EEOI 7.0

Across the 103 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL, the median percentile is 37. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 6,090,780,172 tonne-miles over 39,324 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 35.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 171.8% while distance sailed rose 165.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
