EUROCARGO ISTANBUL against its type
Built in 1998, it is 4 years older than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 29,303 gross tonnage it is larger than 73% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 13 ro-ro ships here under the Panama flag, 4.2% of the 311 on the register. Its MRV returns name it EUROCARGO ISTANBUL for 2018–2024 and MERNA 2 for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Valletta (2018–2024), then Panama (2025).
Its 3,636 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 83% below the median of 21,362 t among the 238 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 287.1 kg CO₂, 12% below the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 1,086 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 5.1% 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 2019 (29,751 t) and the lowest 2025 (3,636 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 54 in 2018 to 64 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 83.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 83.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
