KVITNOS against its type

Built in 2015, it is 13 years newer than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 9,132 gross tonnage it is smaller than 85% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 6 ro-ro ships here under the Norway flag, 1.9% of the 311 on the register. Its MRV returns name it KVITNOS for 2019 and SAMSKIP KVITNOS for 2020–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Torshavn (2019–2020), then Stavanger (2022–2025).

Its 6,871 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 68% below the median of 21,362 t among the 238 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 115.6 kg CO₂, 65% below the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 4,870 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 12.4% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (8,366 t) and the lowest 2025 (6,871 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 27 in 2023 to 26 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025

Position 50 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 26th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 62.8.

EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 109,350,788 tonne-miles over 59,428 nautical miles.

Reported CO₂ by year

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 17.7% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 7.1% while distance sailed fell 5.3%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.9%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
