MSC NERISSA 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 54,881 gross tonnage it is larger than 57% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 387 container ships here under the Panama flag, 11.1% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 133 other vessels here, 105 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it MSC NERISSA for 2018–2023 and MSC NERISSA V for 2024. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 4,367 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 75% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 546.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 530 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 3.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (51,481 t) and the lowest 2022 (2,417 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 59 in 2018 to 66 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 1,093 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 66th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 19.8.

Across the 102 ranked vessels operated by MSC Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 59. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 220,105,847 tonne-miles over 7,988 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 91.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 87.2% while distance sailed fell 87.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
