ACACIA SEAWAYS against its type
Built in 2017, it is 15 years newer than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 32,770 gross tonnage it is larger than 81% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 3 ro-ro ships here under the Lithuania flag, 1.0% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 59 other vessels here, 45 of them ro-ro ships. Its MRV returns name it MELEQ for 2018–2020 and ACACIA SEAWAYS for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: ISTANBUL (2018–2019), then Antwerp (2020), then Klaipeda (2021–2025).
Its 23,240 t of CO₂ for 2025 is close to the median of 21,362 t among the 238 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 381.0 kg CO₂, 17% above the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 4,165 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 4.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (49,125 t) and the lowest 2022 (15,307 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 34 in 2018 to 74 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 143 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 74th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 133.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 174,582,782 tonne-miles over 60,999 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 52.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 3.1% while distance sailed fell 2.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
