AURA SEAWAYS against its type
Built in 2021, it is 21 years newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 54,900 gross tonnage it is larger than 97% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 29 ro-pax ships here under the Denmark flag, 5.9% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 192 other vessels here, 7 of them ro-pax ships. DFDS Seaways is linked to 5 vessels on this register. The returns for 2022–2025 all give Copenhagen as port of registry.
Its 74,247 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.5 times the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 633.5 kg CO₂, 35% above the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 6,132 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 3.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (77,763 t) and the lowest 2022 (43,409 t). Of the 3 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 71.0% higher than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 4.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
