MSC KIM against its type

Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median container ship on this register (build year 2008, 3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 41,225 gross tonnage it is smaller than 53% 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. Mediterranean Shipping Company is linked to 44 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 36,875 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.3 times the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 536.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,232 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (47,723 t) and the lowest 2018 (13,719 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 69 in 2018 to 72 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,325 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 72nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 21.5.

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

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,712,707,850 tonne-miles over 68,720 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 168.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 22.7% while distance sailed fell 18.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
