MSC PEGASUS against its type
Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 76,199 gross tonnage it is larger than 67% 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 98 other vessels here, 35 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it MSC PEGASUS for 2018–2022 and MSC PEGASUS VII for 2023. The returns for 2019–2023 all give MONROVIA as port of registry.
Its 14,627 t of CO₂ for 2023 is close to the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 682.3 kg CO₂, 34% above the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 1,638 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 4.4% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (72,319 t) and the lowest 2021 (11,223 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 58 in 2018 to 61 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 1,017 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 61st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 20.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 700,534,962 tonne-miles over 21,439 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 59.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 33.4% while distance sailed fell 7.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 28.3%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
