AF MICHELA against its type
Built in 2001, it is 1 year newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 24,418 gross tonnage it is larger than 53% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 82 ro-pax ships here under the Cyprus flag, 16.6% of the 493 on the register. Its MRV returns name it AF MICHELA for 2018 and KERRY for 2019–2025. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Limassol as port of registry.
Its 45,152 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.5 times the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 492.1 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 5,219 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 6.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (52,234 t) and the lowest 2019 (38,712 t). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 6.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 5.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
