Per nautical mile it emitted 928.1 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,540 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (69,099 t) and the lowest 2025 (22,566 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 35 in 2018 to 44 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Position 808 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 44th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 12.7.

Across the 103 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL, the median percentile is 37. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,776,864,567 tonne-miles over 24,313 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 67.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 54.5% while distance sailed fell 53.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.2%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
