BOTNIA SEAWAYS against its type
Built in 2000, it is 2 years older than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 11,530 gross tonnage it is smaller than 77% 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 160 other vessels here, 18 of them ro-ro ships. The reported port of registry changed: Klaipeda (2018–2024), then Copenhagen (2025).
Its 11,800 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 45% below the median of 21,362 t among the 238 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 292.2 kg CO₂, 11% below the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 2,997 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 7.3% 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 (21,580 t) and the lowest 2025 (11,800 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 68 in 2018 to 76 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 146 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 76th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 137.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 85,852,226 tonne-miles over 40,376 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 43.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 43.9% while distance sailed fell 51.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 16.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
