MSC RUTH F against its type
Built in 2000, it is 8 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 14,278 gross tonnage it is smaller than 84% 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 133 other vessels here, 105 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it RUTH BORCHARD for 2018–2024 and MSC RUTH F for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2019–2024), then Monrovia (2025).
Its 16,064 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 266.8 kg CO₂, 51% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,901 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.7% 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 (29,429 t) and the lowest 2020 (15,492 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 88 in 2018 to 90 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
