GOLDEN CARRIER against its type
Built in 1986, it is 14 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 22,874 gross tonnage it is smaller than 50% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 82 ro-pax ships here under the Cyprus flag, 16.6% of the 493 on the register. No other vessel on this register is recorded with the same builder. Its MRV returns name it WOLIN for 2018–2024 and GOLDEN CARRIER for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Nassau (2018–2020), then Limassol (2021–2025).
Its 6,432 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 79% below the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 371.6 kg CO₂, 21% below the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 1,087 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 22.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (24,708 t) and the lowest 2025 (6,432 t). Of the 6 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 72.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 70.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
