MSC — Mediterranean Shipping Company — container fleet

602 ships12.24 Mt CO₂ in 2025

The MSC — Mediterranean Shipping Company container fleet counts 602 ships reporting under the EU MRV regulation — the 1th largest reporting fleet — with a combined 12.24 Mt of verified CO₂ emissions in 2025. Every figure on this page comes from the yearly verified reports each ship files with EMSA.

Its total emissions went from 9.23 Mt of CO₂ in 2018 to 12.24 Mt in 2025, a trajectory that reflects both fleet size and operational efficiency choices such as slow steaming and vessel upgrades.

MSC became the world's largest container line in January 2022, ending Maersk's 25-year reign — and it has kept widening the gap since. The Geneva-based, family-owned company pursued a double strategy no competitor matched: a massive newbuilding programme (including the 24,000+ TEU Gülsün and Irina classes, the largest container ships afloat) combined with an unprecedented buying spree of second-hand tonnage, adding hundreds of vessels in a few years. That is why its reporting fleet in the EU MRV data is by far the largest of any operator.

The size of the fleet cuts both ways for its carbon profile: MSC's total emissions are the highest of any container operator simply because it moves the most boxes, while its newest mega-ships rank among the most efficient per container carried. The company has ordered LNG dual-fuel vessels and is testing biofuels, but the age spread of its rapidly assembled fleet makes its average intensity a closely watched figure in the yearly MRV data.
