Brussels-based Transport & Environment (T&E) listed the liner shipping company way ahead of rival operator AP Moller-Maersk and four other top-ten liner operators.
The environmental think-tank also ranked the container shipping company behind five of Europe's biggest power plants.
Geneva-based MSC climbed one ranking higher than last year when it was in seventh place, topping the list of liner companies with 10.9m
