MSC STELLA against its type
Built in 2004, it is 4 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 73,819 gross tonnage it is larger than 64% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 387 container ships here under the Panama flag, 11.1% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 29,663 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 1.7 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 688.3 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 2,913 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 2.1% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (44,394 t) and the lowest 2018 (13,148 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 37 in 2018 to 58 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 964 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 58th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 17.6.
Across the 103 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL, the median percentile is 37. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,690,209,687 tonne-miles over 43,098 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 125.6% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 27.2% while distance sailed fell 27.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
