MSC ISABELLA against its type

Built in 2019, it is 11 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). 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 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company is linked to 44 vessels on this register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 24,336 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 49% above the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 976.9 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,004 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (70,989 t) and the lowest 2021 (8,486 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 9 in 2019 to 12 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 220 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 12th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 7.2.

Across the 34 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company, the median percentile is 52. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,366,040,111 tonne-miles over 24,912 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 22.7% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 65.7% while distance sailed fell 54.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 24.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
