MSC LAUSANNE against its type
Built in 2005, it is 3 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 62,702 gross tonnage it is larger than 58% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 976 container ships here under the Liberia flag, 27.9% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company is linked to 44 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it MSC LAUSANNE for 2018–2023 and MSC LAUSANNE VI for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: VALETTA (2018–2023), then Monrovia (2025).
Its 34,522 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.1 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 661.3 kg CO₂, 21% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,049 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (64,386 t) and the lowest 2023 (20,044 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 45 in 2018 to 47 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 864 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 13.6.
Across the 34 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company, the median percentile is 52. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,542,084,683 tonne-miles over 52,204 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 46.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 72.2% while distance sailed rose 96.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 12.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
