COLOR MAGIC against its type
Built in 2007, it is 7 years newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 75,156 gross tonnage it is larger than 100% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 37 ro-pax ships here under the Norway flag, 7.5% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 23 other vessels here, 14 of them ro-pax ships. Color Line is linked to 6 vessels on this register. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Oslo as port of registry.
Its 94,998 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.2 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 741.8 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 6,918 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 2.5% 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 (101,847 t) and the lowest 2021 (53,923 t). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 6.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 3.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
