MSC INDIA 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 65,792 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% 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. The same builder is recorded for 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2018–2019), then MADEIRA (2020–2025).

Its 37,231 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.3 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 769.6 kg CO₂, 41% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,159 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (62,597 t) and the lowest 2023 (20,512 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 61 in 2018 to 62 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,136 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 62nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 17.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,121,402,279 tonne-miles over 48,375 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 11.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 20.2% while distance sailed fell 1.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 22.5%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
