ROMANTIKA against its type
Built in 2002, it is 2 years newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 40,803 gross tonnage it is larger than 88% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 3 ro-pax ships here under the Latvia flag, 0.6% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 23 other vessels here, 14 of them ro-pax ships. Tallink is linked to 8 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Riga (2018–2021), then Eemshaven (2022), then Riga (2023–2025).
Its 16,565 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 45% 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 730.1 kg CO₂, 1.6 times the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 5,590 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 4.3% 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 (47,502 t) and the lowest 2024 (6,322 t). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 65.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 162.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 99.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
