MSC MIRELLA against its type

Built in 2005, it is 3 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 58,289 gross tonnage it is larger than 58% 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 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. CPO Containerschiffreederei is linked to 60 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it SANTA REGULA for 2018, MSC MIRELLA for 2019–2022 and MSC MIRELLA R for 2023–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 39,297 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.4 times the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 711.2 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,598 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (48,449 t) and the lowest 2023 (26,126 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 64 in 2018 to 83 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,529 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 83rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 28.8.

0255075100more efficientless efficientThis vessel: 83rd percentile, EEOI 28.8

Across the 54 ranked vessels operated by CPO Containerschiffreederei, the median percentile is 48. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,365,435,024 tonne-miles over 55,253 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 11.5% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 17.1% while distance sailed rose 26.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
