COLOR VIKING against its type
Built in 1985, it is 15 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 11,602 gross tonnage it is smaller than 72% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 82 ro-pax ships here under the Cyprus flag, 16.6% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 3 other vessels here, all of them ro-pax ships. Color Line is linked to 6 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it COLOR VIKING for 2018–2022 and SUPERSTAR II for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Sandefjord (2019–2022), then Limassol (2025).
Its 8,456 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 72% below the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 368.2 kg CO₂, 21% below the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 1,413 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (21,115 t) and the lowest 2021 (2,787 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 56.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions fell 42.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 8.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
