Its 44,123 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 47% above the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 486.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 6,118 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 4.3% 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 2018 (54,233 t) and the lowest 2020 (28,387 t). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 18.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 0.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
