MSC SARYA III: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

MSC SARYA III against its type

Built in 2003, it is 5 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 25,407 gross tonnage it is smaller than 72% 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 61 other vessels here, 49 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it NORDATLANTIC for 2018–2020 and MSC SARYA III for 2023–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Madeira (2019–2020), then Monrovia (2023–2025).

Its 8,597 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 47% 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 289.2 kg CO₂, 47% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,648 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 5.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (19,761 t) and the lowest 2024 (3,815 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 62 in 2018 to 59 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,090 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 59th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 16.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 510,513,658 tonne-miles over 29,728 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 35.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 125.4% while distance sailed rose 109.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.4%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
