CRUISE OLBIA 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. Its MRV returns name it CRUISE OLBIA for 2018–2020 and EUROPA PALACE for 2021–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Palermo as port of registry.
Its 63,557 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 597.3 kg CO₂, 28% above the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 5,876 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 7.2% 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 2021 (104,388 t) and the lowest 2020 (59,421 t). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 9.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 1.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
