AUTO ECO against its type
Built in 2016, it is 8 years newer than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 42,424 gross tonnage it is smaller than 85% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 6 vehicle carriers here under the Portugal flag, 0.8% of the 713 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Madeira (2018–2019), then Funchal (2020), then Madeira (2021–2025).
Its 16,380 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.3 times the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 238.4 kg CO₂, 23% below the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 5,258 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 10.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (24,677 t) and the lowest 2021 (16,227 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 83 in 2018 to 92 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 387 of 423 qualifying vehicle carriers by EEOI, at the 92nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 51.7; this vessel reported 113.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 144,811,776 tonne-miles over 68,701 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 33.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 3.1% while distance sailed fell 6.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
