MSC LUDOVICA against its type
Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 75,590 gross tonnage it is larger than 66% 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. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 28,205 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 1.9 times the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 590.5 kg CO₂, 16% above the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 3,467 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 3.9% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (31,077 t) and the lowest 2018 (6,588 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 35 in 2018 to 64 in 2023 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,068 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 64th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 22.1.
Across the 102 ranked vessels operated by MSC Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 59. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,279,121,542 tonne-miles over 47,761 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 328.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2023, emissions fell 9.2% while distance sailed rose 13.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 20.3%.
