MSC AURORA against its type
Built in 2012, it is 4 years newer than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 143,521 gross tonnage it is larger than 88% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 387 container ships here under the Panama flag, 11.1% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 660 other vessels here, 231 of them container ships. Mediterranean Shipping Company SRL is linked to 105 vessels on this register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 1,778 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 89% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,161.9 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 166 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 25.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (29,509 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,778 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 10 in 2018 to 23 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 8 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 76.4% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 92.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 13.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
