ARK GERMANIA against its type
Built in 2014, it is 12 years newer than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 33,313 gross tonnage it is larger than 83% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 21 ro-ro ships here under the Denmark flag, 6.8% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 7 other vessels here, one of them a ro-ro ship. The reported port of registry changed: København (2018–2021), then Kobenhavn (2022), then Copenhagen (2023–2025).
Its 30,686 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 44% above the median of 21,362 t among the 238 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 350.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 5,339 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 2.2% 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 2019 (39,133 t) and the lowest 2024 (15,578 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 78 in 2018 to 66 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 127 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 66th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 105.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 290,424,002 tonne-miles over 87,517 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 23.8% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 97.0% while distance sailed rose 127.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
