MSC AURIGA against its type
Built in 2020, it is 12 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 149,525 gross tonnage it is larger than 90% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 307 container ships here under the Portugal flag, 8.8% of the 3,495 on the register. The returns for 2023–2025 all give Madeira as port of registry.
Its 22,984 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 40% above the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 820.0 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 1,937 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 3.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (22,984 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,274 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 29 in 2023 to 16 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 287 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 16th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 7.6.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 3,008,340,314 tonne-miles over 28,027 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 602.0% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 30.0% while distance sailed rose 21.4%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.1%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
