FINNWAVE: CO₂ emissions 2018–2025

FINNWAVE against its type

Built in 2012, it is 10 years newer than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 33,816 gross tonnage it is larger than 84% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 21 ro-ro ships here under the Finland flag, 6.8% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 160 other vessels here, 18 of them ro-ro ships. Finnlines is linked to 19 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Helsinki as port of registry.

Its 48,572 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.3 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 491.1 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 5,938 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 4.4% 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 (52,784 t) and the lowest 2022 (38,976 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 73 in 2018 to 64 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 124 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 64th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 104.8.

Across the 9 ranked vessels operated by Finnlines, the median percentile is 61. This vessel is less efficient than its own fleet median.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 463,380,366 tonne-miles over 98,898 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 6.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 2.9% while distance sailed rose 3.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 0.8%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
