MSC MONTEREY against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 50,963 gross tonnage it is larger than 53% 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. The same builder is recorded for 86 other vessels here, 35 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company is linked to 44 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it MSC MONTEREY for 2018–2022 and MSC MONTEREY V for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: MONROVIA (2018–2022), then MADEIRA (2024–2025).
Its 40,732 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.5 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 603.1 kg CO₂, 11% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,614 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (40,732 t) and the lowest 2024 (4,914 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2018 to 60 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,112 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 60th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 17.1.
Across the 34 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company, the median percentile is 52. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,381,996,491 tonne-miles over 67,542 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 72.4% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 729.0% while distance sailed rose 654.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 9.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
