MSC LEA against its type

Built in 2000, it is 8 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 24,836 gross tonnage it is smaller than 73% 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 98 other vessels here, 6 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MSC LEA for 2018–2023 and MSC LEA II for 2024–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 10,118 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 38% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 340.2 kg CO₂, 38% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,830 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (33,126 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,029 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 90 in 2018 to 85 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,564 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 85th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 30.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 328,606,041 tonne-miles over 29,742 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 69.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 22.2% while distance sailed rose 25.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
