SPIRIT OF FRANCE against its type
Built in 2011, it is 11 years newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 47,592 gross tonnage it is larger than 92% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 82 ro-pax ships here under the Cyprus flag, 16.6% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 7 other vessels here, 4 of them ro-pax ships. P&O Ferries is linked to 10 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Limassol as port of registry.
Its 38,677 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 29% 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 813.8 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 3,844 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 11.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2020 (75,228 t) and the lowest 2022 (31,459 t). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 42.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 10.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
