MOROCCO SUN 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 12,175 gross tonnage it is smaller than 71% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 4 ro-pax ships here under the Morocco flag, 0.8% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 5 other vessels here, 2 of them ro-pax ships. The reported port of registry changed: Tanger (2019–2023), then Tangier (2024–2025).
Its 7,500 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 75% 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 325.1 kg CO₂, 30% below the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 2,275 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 8.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (13,972 t) and the lowest 2019 (1,172 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 539.9% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 32.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 4.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
