At 13,727 gross tonnage it is smaller than 67% 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. No other vessel on this register is recorded with the same builder. The returns for 2018–2025 all give LIMASSOL as port of registry.
Its 18,560 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 38% 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 553.0 kg CO₂, 18% above the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 2,362 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 18.9% 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 2019 (24,056 t) and the lowest 2020 (8,829 t). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 6.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 29.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
