ARCTIC AURORA against its type
Built in 2013, it is 1 year older than the median LNG carrier on this register, which was built in 2014 (396 vessels with a known build year). At 100,236 gross tonnage it is smaller than 77% of the other 377 LNG carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 60 LNG carriers here under the Malta flag, 11.2% of the 538 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 9 of them LNG carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 56,393 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.6 times the median of 21,516 t among the 351 LNG carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,027.5 kg CO₂, 1.9 times the type median of 533.6 kg. It logged 7,967 hours at sea against a median of 2,940 hours for its type that year. 5.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for LNG carriers was 2.0%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (70,609 t) and the lowest 2021 (19,326 t). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 17.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 7.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 22.0%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
