MSC ILLINOIS VII against its type
Built in 2000, it is 8 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 74,583 gross tonnage it is larger than 64% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 336 container ships here under the Malta flag, 9.6% 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 SEALAND ILLINOIS for 2018–2021 and MSC ILLINOIS VII for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018), then Hong Kong (2019–2021), then Monrovia (2023).
Its 4,951 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 66% below the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 611.8 kg CO₂, 20% above the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 733 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 2.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (52,786 t) and the lowest 2023 (4,951 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 37 in 2018 to 40 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 658 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 40th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 13.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 358,261,216 tonne-miles over 8,092 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 90.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2023, emissions fell 88.3% while distance sailed fell 85.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 18.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
