MSC ROBERTA against its type

Built in 1993, it is 15 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 53,815 gross tonnage it is larger than 55% 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. Its MRV returns name it MSC ROBERTA for 2018–2021 and MSC ROBERTA V for 2022–2024. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 20,941 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 18% above the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 483.2 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 3,429 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 3.5% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (43,461 t) and the lowest 2018 (2,251 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2019 to 54 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 901 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 54th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 16.4.

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 830.2% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 68.5% while distance sailed rose 73.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
