MSC VITA against its type
Built in 2015, it is 7 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 95,497 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 146 other vessels here, 43 of them container ships. MSC Shipmanagement is linked to 109 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Panama (2018–2020), then MADEIRA (2021–2025).
Its 9,915 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 39% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 862.5 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 785 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (59,344 t) and the lowest 2025 (9,915 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 27 in 2018 to 39 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 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 718 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 39th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 11.5.
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 860,675,347 tonne-miles over 11,495 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 83.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 78.9% while distance sailed fell 77.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
