MSC RICHIKA F against its type
Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median container ship on this register (build year 2008, 3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 15,633 gross tonnage it is smaller than 83% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it PETKUM for 2018–2020 and MSC RICHIKA F for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: St. John's (2018–2020), then MADEIRA (2024–2025).
Its 9,768 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 40% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 266.3 kg CO₂, 51% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,709 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (14,074 t) and the lowest 2024 (5,487 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 71 in 2018 to 93 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,703 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 93rd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 41.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 236,519,370 tonne-miles over 36,680 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 30.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 78.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
