JAMES JOYCE against its type
Built in 2007, it is 7 years newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 36,249 gross tonnage it is larger than 83% 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. The same builder is recorded for 23 other vessels here, 14 of them ro-pax ships. Tallink is linked to 8 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it STAR for 2018–2022, OSCAR WILDE for 2024 and JAMES JOYCE for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Tallinn (2018–2022), then Limassol (2024–2025).
Its 56,189 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.9 times the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 714.8 kg CO₂, 1.5 times the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 4,928 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 4.1% 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 2024 (72,640 t) and the lowest 2025 (56,189 t). Of the 6 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 21.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 22.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
