KAUNAS against its type
Built in 1989, it is 11 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 25,606 gross tonnage it is larger than 55% 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 61 other vessels here, 3 of them ro-pax ships. The returns for 2023–2025 all give Panama as port of registry.
Its 8,871 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 70% 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 418.2 kg CO₂, 11% below the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 2,457 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 16.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (8,871 t) and the lowest 2023 (7,991 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 11.0% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 9.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
