MSC HONG KONG against its type
Built in 2002, it is 6 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 53,453 gross tonnage it is larger than 55% 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 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MSC HONG KONG for 2022 and MSC HONG KONG V for 2023–2025. The returns for 2022–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 32,288 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 559.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,228 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (33,562 t) and the lowest 2023 (18,431 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 48 in 2022 to 63 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
