MSC SOFIA PAZ against its type
Built in 2014, it is 6 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 94,930 gross tonnage it is larger than 76% 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 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it SYMI I for 2020 and MSC SOFIA PAZ for 2022–2024. The returns for 2020–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 27,457 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 1.5 times the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 757.1 kg CO₂, 43% above the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 2,631 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 4.9% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (27,457 t) and the lowest 2022 (9,709 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 19 in 2020 to 37 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 617 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 37th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 12.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,235,872,150 tonne-miles over 36,264 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 31.7% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 3.1% while distance sailed fell 17.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 24.7%.
