Its 23,829 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 21% 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 289.0 kg CO₂, 38% below the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 6,596 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 7.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%.
