POLARLYS against its type
Built in 1996, it is 4 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 11,341 gross tonnage it is smaller than 73% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 37 ro-pax ships here under the Norway flag, 7.5% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 23 other vessels here. Hurtigruten is linked to 12 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Tromso (2018–2022), then Tromsø (2023–2025).
Its 19,998 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 33% 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 225.4 kg CO₂, 52% below the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 6,794 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 8.7% 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 2022 (21,167 t) and the lowest 2020 (13,206 t). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 0.7% higher than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 2.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
