MSC TEXAS against its type
Built in 2006, it is 2 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 91,649 gross tonnage it is larger 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 461 other vessels here, 155 of them container ships. Zeaborn Ship Management is linked to 56 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it E.R. TEXAS for 2018, 0097 E.R. TEXAS for 2020 and MSC TEXAS for 2021–2025. The returns for 2020–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 35,912 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.2 times the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 816.8 kg CO₂, 50% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 3,102 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (39,410 t) and the lowest 2020 (8,075 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 32 in 2020 to 45 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 834 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 45th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 13.0.
Across the 43 ranked vessels operated by Zeaborn Ship Management, the median percentile is 45. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,753,996,166 tonne-miles over 43,965 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 344.7% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2021 to 2025, emissions fell 8.9% while distance sailed fell 4.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.8%.
