MSC IRA II against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 18,480 gross tonnage it is smaller than 76% 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 101 other vessels here, 74 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it X-PRESS IRAZU for 2020–2022 and MSC IRA II for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: SINGAPORE (2020–2022), then Monrovia (2023–2025).
Its 6,709 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 59% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 334.4 kg CO₂, 39% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,820 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 6.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (21,036 t) and the lowest 2020 (2,060 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 77 in 2021 to 87 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 225.7% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 11.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
