MSC SAGITTARIUS F against its type

Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 9,999 gross tonnage it is smaller than 89% 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 returns for 2022–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 12,206 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 25% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 288.3 kg CO₂, 47% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,828 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 4.3% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (12,562 t) and the lowest 2022 (7,207 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 92 in 2023 to 99 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 69.4% higher than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 16.7% while distance sailed rose 10.1%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
