ASG KHERSON against its type
Built in 2002, it is 5 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 5,052 gross tonnage it is smaller than 62% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 67 general cargo ships here under the Palau flag, 2.2% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 100 other vessels here, 95 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it AURORA for 2018–2023 and ASG KHERSON for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: TURKU (2018–2019), then Rotterdam (2020–2023), then Malakal Harbor (2024–2025).
Its 1,192 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 58% below the median of 2,820 t among the 2,469 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 143.8 kg CO₂, 18% above the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 770 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 1.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (7,373 t) and the lowest 2023 (305 t). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 8 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 79.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 54.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 6.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
