The reported port of registry changed: Palermo (2018–2019), then HERAKLION (2020–2025).

Its 62,864 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.1 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 822.2 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 3,551 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 9.9% 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 (67,487 t) and the lowest 2019 (45,446 t). Of the 7 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 6.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 8.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 8 MRV reporting years, 5 of 5 vessel particulars, a name history and a licensed photograph. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
