ELISABETH RUSS against its type

Built in 1999, it is 3 years older than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 10,471 gross tonnage it is smaller than 81% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 16 ro-ro ships here under the Portugal flag, 5.1% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 180 other vessels here, 13 of them ro-ro ships. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Madeira as port of registry.

Its 25,750 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 21% above the median of 21,362 t among the 238 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 254.6 kg CO₂, 22% below the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 5,742 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 2.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (31,812 t) and the lowest 2020 (16,129 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 91 in 2021 to 89 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 3 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 171 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 89th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 185.6.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 138,769,455 tonne-miles over 101,147 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 26.0% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 3.1% while distance sailed rose 3.5%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.3%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
