MSC FEDERICA against its type

Built in 1990, it is 18 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 52,181 gross tonnage it is larger than 54% 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 64 other vessels here, 53 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company is linked to 44 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2022 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 23,150 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 1.5 times the median of 15,388 t among the 1,858 container ships on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 605.8 kg CO₂, 12% above the type median of 539.7 kg. It logged 3,217 hours at sea against a median of 2,699 hours for its type that year. 4.3% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (63,043 t) and the lowest 2021 (20,043 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 74 in 2018 to 60 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2022 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2022

Position 961 of 1,589 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 60th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.9; this vessel reported 21.0.

Across the 34 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company, the median percentile is 52. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,100,829,767 tonne-miles over 38,212 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 0.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2021 to 2022, emissions rose 15.5% while distance sailed rose 19.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
