BALTICA against its type
Built in 1990, it is 12 years older than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 21,224 gross tonnage it is larger than 51% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 14 ro-ro ships here under the Cyprus flag, 4.5% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 761 other vessels here, 3 of them ro-ro ships. Its MRV returns name it BALTICA for 2018–2019 and VASSILIOS for 2021–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Mariehamn (2018–2019), then LIMASSOL (2021–2025).
Its 23,748 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 11% 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 291.5 kg CO₂, 11% below the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 6,015 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 5.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (25,379 t) and the lowest 2021 (17,678 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 76 in 2023 to 78 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 149 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 78th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 141.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 168,189,235 tonne-miles over 81,472 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 10.1% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 6.4% while distance sailed fell 0.9%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.5%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
