DELPHINE against its type

Built in 2018, it is 16 years newer than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 74,273 gross tonnage it is larger than 100% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 52 ro-ro ships here under the Malta flag, 16.7% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 983 other vessels here, 18 of them ro-ro ships. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Valletta as port of registry.

Its 37,004 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.7 times the median of 21,362 t among the 238 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 491.6 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 4,854 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 7.8% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (44,039 t) and the lowest 2023 (32,741 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 20 in 2019 to 19 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 37 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 19th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 53.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 690,366,045 tonne-miles over 75,280 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 16.0% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 4.6% while distance sailed fell 7.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
