MSC JORDAN against its type

Built in 1993, it is 15 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 37,071 gross tonnage it is smaller than 59% 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 32 other vessels here, 21 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MSC JORDAN for 2018–2022 and MSC JORDAN III for 2023–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 22,836 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 40% 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 436.1 kg CO₂, 20% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,468 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.8% 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 (37,100 t) and the lowest 2023 (18,613 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 65 in 2018 to 74 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,358 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 22.3.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,022,655,172 tonne-miles over 52,369 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 35.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 13.9% while distance sailed fell 15.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
