MEGA EXPRESS against its type
Built in 2001, it is 1 year newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 26,024 gross tonnage it is larger than 56% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 84 ro-pax ships here under the Italy flag, 17.0% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 4 other vessels here, 2 of them ro-pax ships. Corsica Ferries - Sardinia Ferries is linked to 5 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Genova as port of registry.
Its 44,197 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 47% 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 608.9 kg CO₂, 30% above the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 4,347 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 5.3% 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 (82,058 t) and the lowest 2024 (43,164 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 46.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 2.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 3.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
