CAP FINISTERE against its type
Built in 2001, it is 1 year newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 32,728 gross tonnage it is larger than 75% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 84 ro-pax ships here under the Italy flag, 17.0% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 32 other vessels here, 5 of them ro-pax ships. Brittany Ferries is linked to 11 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it CAP FINISTERE for 2018–2021 and GNV SPIRIT for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Morlaix (2018–2021), then Naples (2022–2025).
Its 57,665 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.9 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 695.6 kg CO₂, 49% above the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 4,135 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 10.4% 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 (141,853 t) and the lowest 2021 (57,603 t). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 59.3% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 12.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 9.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
