MSC VERONIQUE against its type

Built in 1989, it is 19 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 52,191 gross tonnage it is larger than 54% 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 64 other vessels here, 53 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2022 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 33,510 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 2.2 times the median of 15,388 t among the 1,858 container ships on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 624.0 kg CO₂, 16% above the type median of 539.7 kg. It logged 4,246 hours at sea against a median of 2,699 hours for its type that year. 4.7% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 4.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (50,272 t) and the lowest 2018 (1,430 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 44 in 2019 to 57 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2022 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2022

Position 905 of 1,589 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 57th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 16.9; this vessel reported 19.5.

Across the 102 ranked vessels operated by MSC Shipmanagement, the median percentile is 59. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 1,720,234,600 tonne-miles over 53,700 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 2,243.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2021 to 2022, emissions fell 33.3% while distance sailed fell 30.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 3.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
