KOPERNIK against its type
Built in 1977, it is 23 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 14,216 gross tonnage it is smaller than 66% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 48 ro-pax ships here under the Greece flag, 9.7% of the 493 on the register. No other vessel on this register is recorded with the same builder. Its MRV returns name it KOPERNIK for 2018 and SMYRNA DI LEVANTE for 2022–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Limassol (2018), then Piraeus (2022–2025).
Its 13,859 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 54% 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 421.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 2,433 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 46.1% 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 2018 (14,118 t) and the lowest 2022 (3,571 t). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 1.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2025, emissions rose 288.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 11.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
