BENCHIJIGUA EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2005, it is 5 years newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 3,504 gross tonnage it is smaller than 99% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 30 ro-pax ships here under the Spain flag, 6.1% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 15 other vessels here, all of them ro-pax ships. Fred. Olsen Express is linked to 3 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Santa Cruz de Tenerife as port of registry.
Its 45,451 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 543.7 kg CO₂, 16% above the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 3,222 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 2.3% 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 2019 (52,550 t) and the lowest 2020 (41,114 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.
