MSC MARGRIT against its type

Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 141,635 gross tonnage it is larger than 87% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 202 container ships here under the Hong Kong flag, 5.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The returns for 2019–2024 all give Hong Kong as port of registry.

Its 66,268 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 3.7 times the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,047.1 kg CO₂, 2.0 times the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 4,304 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 1.8% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (66,268 t) and the lowest 2020 (7,565 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 15 in 2019 to 22 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 362 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 22nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 8.9.

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 7,471,001,127 tonne-miles over 63,288 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 55.3% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 162.7% while distance sailed rose 122.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 17.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
