MSC WASHINGTON against its type
Built in 2022, it is 14 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). 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 1 other vessel here, also a container ship. Mediterranean Shipping Company is linked to 44 vessels on this register. The returns for 2023–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 59,770 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.7 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 711.0 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 5,812 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (59,770 t) and the lowest 2023 (11,913 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 39 in 2023 to 5 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 96 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 5th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 6.4.
Across the 34 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company, the median percentile is 52. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 9,368,382,445 tonne-miles over 84,062 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 401.7% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 92.5% while distance sailed rose 111.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
