AURELIA against its type
Built in 1980, it is 20 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 21,518 gross tonnage it is smaller than 53% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 82 ro-pax ships here under the Cyprus flag, 16.6% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 132 other vessels here, 27 of them ro-pax ships. Tirrenia – Compagnia italiana di navigazione is linked to 3 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it AURELIA for 2018–2021 and MSC AURELIA for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Cagliari (2018), then LIMASSOL (2019–2025).
Its 11,059 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 63% below the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 480.3 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 1,953 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 15.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (14,305 t) and the lowest 2023 (5,218 t). Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 4.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 1.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
