MSC VIDHI against its type

Built in 2001, it is 7 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 66,500 gross tonnage it is larger than 61% 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 563 other vessels here, 243 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.

Its 43,704 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.7 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 708.3 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 4,054 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (45,742 t) and the lowest 2023 (21,372 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 60 in 2018 to 62 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 1,137 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 62nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 17.6.

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

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 2,487,424,587 tonne-miles over 61,699 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 4.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, 2022, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 24.4% while distance sailed rose 15.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.6%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
