POVL ANKER against its type
Built in 1978, it is 22 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 12,358 gross tonnage it is smaller than 70% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 29 ro-pax ships here under the Denmark flag, 5.9% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 10 other vessels here, 3 of them ro-pax ships. Molslinjen is linked to 6 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Roenne as port of registry.
Its 2,764 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 91% 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 513.5 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 348 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 43.0% 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 2019 (5,320 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,672 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 0.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 3.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 1.5%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
