MSC GISELLE against its type

Built in 2015, it is 7 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 91,883 gross tonnage it is larger than 73% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018–2020), then Madeira (2021–2025).

Its 35,863 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.2 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 846.1 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,998 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (68,623 t) and the lowest 2020 (10,201 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 34 in 2018 to 39 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 719 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 39th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 11.5.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 39th percentile, EEOI 11.5

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

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,113,138,021 tonne-miles over 42,384 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 47.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 65.2% while distance sailed rose 74.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 7 MRV reporting years, an efficiency ranking and 4 of 5 vessel particulars. Not found in the sources for this vessel: AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a name history, a licensed photograph, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
