MSC ZOE 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 192,237 gross tonnage it is larger than 95% 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 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2024 all give Panama as port of registry.

Its 19,011 t of CO₂ for 2024 is close to the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 984.4 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 1,290 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 0.4% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (61,815 t) and the lowest 2022 (8,989 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 10 in 2018 to 5 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024

Position 81 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 5th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 6.2.

Across the 103 ranked vessels operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL, the median percentile is 37. This vessel is more efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,061,336,554 tonne-miles over 19,313 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 69.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 25.2% while distance sailed rose 26.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
