MSC SAGITTA III against its type
Built in 2009, it is 1 year newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 36,087 gross tonnage it is smaller than 59% 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. The same builder is recorded for 16 other vessels here, 14 of them container ships. Wilhelmsen Ahrenkiel Ship Management is linked to 11 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it SAGITTA for 2018–2019 and MSC SAGITTA III for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018–2019), then Madeira (2024).
Its 7,302 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 59% 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 437.4 kg CO₂, 17% below the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 1,260 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 2.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (18,233 t) and the lowest 2024 (7,302 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 52 in 2018 to 68 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2024 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 1,132 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 68th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 20.8.
Across the 10 ranked vessels operated by Wilhelmsen Ahrenkiel Ship Management, the median percentile is 74. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 351,754,817 tonne-miles over 16,694 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 59.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2019 to 2024, emissions fell 50.4% while distance sailed fell 46.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
