MSC LILY against its type
Built in 2015, it is 7 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 95,403 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018–2019), then MADEIRA (2022–2025).
Its 11,902 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 27% 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 1,017.1 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 828 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 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (44,190 t) and the lowest 2022 (3,671 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 18 in 2018 to 42 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 8 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 781 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 42nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 12.2.
Across the 102 ranked vessels operated by MSC Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 59. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 972,374,183 tonne-miles over 11,702 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 66.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 73.1% while distance sailed fell 75.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
