SPITSBERGEN against its type
Built in 2009, it is 9 years newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 6,820 gross tonnage it is smaller than 85% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 3 ro-pax ships here under the Bermuda flag, 0.6% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 22 other vessels here, one of them a ro-pax ship. Hurtigruten is linked to 12 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Tromso (2018–2019), then TROMSØ (2022–2023), then LONGYEARBYEN (2024), then HAMILTON (2025).
Its 5,146 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 83% 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 328.8 kg CO₂, 30% below the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 1,871 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 35.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (19,000 t) and the lowest 2024 (4,485 t). Of the 6 comparable vessels 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 70.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 14.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 37.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
