MSC HELENA III against its type
Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 35,824 gross tonnage it is smaller than 61% 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 80 other vessels here, 41 of them container ships. The returns for 2024–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 16,778 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 413.4 kg CO₂, 24% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,216 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 8.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 79 in 2024 to 72 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,319 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 72nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 21.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 783,632,415 tonne-miles over 40,579 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 77.4% higher than in 2024, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 77.4% while distance sailed rose 125.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 21.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
