MSC LA SPEZIA against its type

Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 153,115 gross tonnage it is larger than 92% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 63 container ships here under the Germany flag, 1.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. CPO Containerschiffreederei is linked to 60 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Hamburg as port of registry.

Its 4,828 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 73% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 994.3 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 413 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 12.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (39,116 t) and the lowest 2024 (4,828 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 20 in 2018 to 48 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 798 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 48th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 14.9.

Across the 54 ranked vessels operated by CPO Containerschiffreederei, the median percentile is 48. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 324,255,876 tonne-miles over 4,856 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 81.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.

From 2022 to 2024, emissions fell 83.2% while distance sailed fell 81.7%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
