MSC HAMBURG 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 176,490 gross tonnage it is larger than 95% 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 96 other vessels here, 17 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 32,211 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.0 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 1,035.9 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,225 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.7% 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 (36,054 t) and the lowest 2023 (5,784 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 13 in both 2018 and 2025. Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 10.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 20.6% while distance sailed rose 19.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
