MSC PAMELA 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 107,849 gross tonnage it is larger than 80% 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 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 18,894 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 15% above the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 954.3 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,614 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.1% 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 (50,767 t) and the lowest 2024 (11,394 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 31 in 2018 to 33 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 606 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 33rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 10.5.

Across the 103 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL, the median percentile is 37. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,801,127,741 tonne-miles over 19,799 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 65.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 65.8% while distance sailed rose 67.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
