MSC MUMBAI VIII 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 94,483 gross tonnage it is larger than 75% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Cyprus flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it NORTHERN JADE for 2018–2020 and MSC MUMBAI VIII for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Hamburg (2019–2020), then Monrovia (2022–2023), then LIMASSOL (2025).
Its 36,727 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.2 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 762.7 kg CO₂, 40% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,148 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (46,360 t) and the lowest 2020 (15,337 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 36 in 2018 to 43 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 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 790 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 43rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 12.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,969,059,822 tonne-miles over 48,154 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 90.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2025, emissions rose 93.9% while distance sailed rose 125.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
