NILS HOLGERSSON against its type
Built in 2022, it is 22 years newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). It is one of 7 ro-pax ships here under the Germany flag, 1.4% of the 493 on the register. The reported port of registry changed: Rostock (2022), then Rostck (2023–2025).
Its 38,964 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 30% 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 443.9 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 6,103 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 11.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (43,364 t) and the lowest 2024 (27,118 t). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 11.8% higher than in 2022, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 43.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
