MSC RIFAYA against its type

Built in 2017, it is 9 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 193,489 gross tonnage it is larger than 96% 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. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 12,469 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 30% 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 998.9 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 792 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 2.4% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (51,626 t) and the lowest 2024 (12,469 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 15 in 2018 to 24 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 408 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 24th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 9.4.

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 1,319,501,587 tonne-miles over 12,483 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 66.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 33.1% while distance sailed fell 35.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
