PRIMULA SEAWAYS against its type
Built in 2004, it is 2 years newer than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 37,985 gross tonnage it is larger than 89% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 21 ro-ro ships here under the Denmark flag, 6.8% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 59 other vessels here, 45 of them ro-ro ships. The reported port of registry changed: København (2018–2021), then Kobenhavn (2022), then Copenhagen (2023–2025).
Its 45,914 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.1 times the median of 21,362 t among the 238 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 431.9 kg CO₂, 32% above the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 6,167 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 2.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (53,678 t) and the lowest 2025 (45,914 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 43 in 2018 to 32 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 62 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 32nd percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 70.0.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 656,292,453 tonne-miles over 106,303 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 2.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 2.4% while distance sailed fell 2.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 0.3%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
