GOTHICA against its type
Built in 1982, it is 18 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 13,294 gross tonnage it is smaller than 68% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 13 ro-pax ships here under the Panama flag, 2.6% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 20 other vessels here, 15 of them ro-pax ships. Stena Line is linked to 17 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it STENA GOTHICA for 2018–2023 and GOTHICA for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Copenhagen (2018–2023), then Panama (2024–2025).
Its 5,712 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 81% 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 263.5 kg CO₂, 44% below the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 1,889 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 5.7% 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 2019 (25,139 t) and the lowest 2025 (5,712 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 63.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 31.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 17.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
