EXPRESS 4 against its type

Built in 2018, it is 18 years newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 12,450 gross tonnage it is smaller than 69% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 29 ro-pax ships here under the Denmark flag, 5.9% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 15 other vessels here, all of them ro-pax ships. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Aarhus as port of registry.

Its 37,376 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 24% above the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 383.1 kg CO₂, 18% below the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 3,817 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 2.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2022 (43,610 t) and the lowest 2019 (36,139 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 3.4% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 0.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
