MSC JOY against its type

Built in 1992, it is 16 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 30,567 gross tonnage it is smaller than 63% 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 25 other vessels here, 4 of them container ships. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 17,241 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 348.3 kg CO₂, 36% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,638 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 9.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (23,621 t) and the lowest 2024 (15,869 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 70 in 2018 to 81 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,496 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 81st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 27.2.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 632,940,896 tonne-miles over 49,496 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 26.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 8.6% while distance sailed fell <0.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 8.7%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
