FINNMERCHANT against its type
Built in 2003, it is 1 year newer than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 23,235 gross tonnage it is larger than 56% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 9 ro-ro ships here under the Netherlands flag, 2.9% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 59 other vessels here, 45 of them ro-ro ships. Finnlines is linked to 19 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it FINNMERCHANT for 2018–2021 and NEW AMSTERDAM for 2022–2023. The reported port of registry changed: Helsinki (2018–2021), then Soesterberg (2022–2023).
Its 10,048 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 56% below the median of 22,994 t among the 234 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 340.5 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 333.6 kg. It logged 2,204 hours at sea against a median of 5,172 hours for its type that year. 3.2% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (40,519 t) and the lowest 2023 (10,048 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 77 in 2018 to 71 in 2022 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2023 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 72.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 61.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 15.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
