MSC SHAHAR against its type
Built in 2011, it is 3 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 40,542 gross tonnage it is smaller than 54% 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 211 other vessels here, 61 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it ZIM TEXAS for 2018 and MSC SHAHAR for 2023. The reported port of registry changed: Majuro (2018), then Monrovia (2023).
Its 9,890 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 32% below the median of 14,627 t among the 1,920 container ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 571.7 kg CO₂, 12% above the type median of 509.2 kg. It logged 1,386 hours at sea against a median of 2,716 hours for its type that year. 3.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.0%. Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 51 in 2018 to 76 in 2023 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2023 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2023
Position 1,269 of 1,664 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 76th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 17.4; this vessel reported 28.8.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 343,409,028 tonne-miles over 17,300 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 64.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2018 to 2023, emissions fell 64.6% while distance sailed fell 64.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
