MSC UNITED VIII 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 90,389 gross tonnage it is larger than 70% 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 761 other vessels here, 355 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it NAVIOS UNITE for 2018–2021 and MSC UNITED VIII for 2022–2024. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 2,818 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 84% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 936.6 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 318 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 12.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (26,403 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,818 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 31 in 2018 to 41 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 687 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 41st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 13.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 213,345,950 tonne-miles over 3,009 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 72.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 89.3% while distance sailed fell 91.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 31.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
