MSC NASSAU against its type
Built in 2010, it is 2 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 40,542 gross tonnage it is smaller than 54% 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 21 other vessels here, 10 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it ZIM ALABAMA for 2018 and MSC NASSAU for 2022–2023. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018), then MONROVIA (2022–2023).
Its 5,905 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 60% below the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 469.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 1,090 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 2.6% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (33,169 t) and the lowest 2023 (5,905 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 53 in 2018 to 59 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 976 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 59th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 20.0.
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 294,799,800 tonne-miles over 12,572 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 82.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 52.0% while distance sailed fell 39.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 20.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
