MSC PAOLA against its type
Built in 1998, it is 10 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 37,579 gross tonnage it is smaller than 58% 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 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018), then Monrovia (2019–2022).
Its 128 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 99% below the median of 15,388 t among the 1,858 container ships on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 861.7 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 539.7 kg. It logged 32 hours at sea against a median of 2,699 hours for its type that year. 34.0% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (17,681 t) and the lowest 2022 (128 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 58 in 2018 to 42 in 2019 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2022 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 99.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2022, emissions fell 88.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 81.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
