AURIGA LEADER against its type
Built in 2008, it is the same age as the median vehicle carrier on this register (build year 2008, 595 vessels with a known build year). At 60,213 gross tonnage it is larger than 65% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 66 vehicle carriers here under the Japan flag, 9.3% of the 713 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2018–2020), then TOKYO (2021–2025).
Its 6,012 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 15% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 275.0 kg CO₂, 11% below the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,487 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 2.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (6,012 t) and the lowest 2024 (839 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type was 14 in both 2018 and 2025. Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 60 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 14th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 36.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 166,570,241 tonne-miles over 21,857 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 39.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 616.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
