MSC MARIA CLARA against its type
Built in 2004, it is 4 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 54,214 gross tonnage it is larger than 55% 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 returns for 2021–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 44,623 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 2.5 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 674.2 kg CO₂, 28% above the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 4,932 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 3.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (44,623 t) and the lowest 2021 (15,548 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 52 in 2021 to 58 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 971 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 58th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 17.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,511,127,181 tonne-miles over 66,182 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 187.0% higher than in 2021, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 39.1% while distance sailed rose 8.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 28.5%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
