MASSALIA against its type
Built in 1992, it is 8 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 27,541 gross tonnage it is larger than 63% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 27 ro-pax ships here under the France flag, 5.5% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 19 other vessels here, 3 of them ro-pax ships. Brittany Ferries is linked to 11 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it NORMANDIE for 2018–2024 and MASSALIA for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Caen (2018–2024), then MARSELLE (2025).
Its 38,464 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 28% above the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 436.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 5,542 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 5.8% 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 2018 (50,258 t) and the lowest 2020 (32,520 t). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 23.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 6.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
