MSC JAPAN against its type
Built in 1996, it is 12 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 37,518 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. 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 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The returns for 2019–2023 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 17,420 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 19% above the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 403.5 kg CO₂, 21% below the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 3,119 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 4.2% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 85 in 2019 to 64 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,059 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 64th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 21.8.
Across the 102 ranked vessels operated by MSC Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 59. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 799,824,151 tonne-miles over 43,172 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 130.9% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2019 to 2023, emissions rose 130.9% while distance sailed rose 184.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 18.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
