STENA SPIRIT against its type
Built in 1983, it is 17 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 39,178 gross tonnage it is larger than 86% 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 25 other vessels here, 5 of them ro-pax ships. Stena Line is linked to 17 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: Nassau (2018–2020), then Limassol (2021–2022), then Hellerup (2023–2025).
Its 47,494 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 1.6 times the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 512.7 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 6,236 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 7.2% 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 2022 (57,544 t) and the lowest 2023 (43,977 t). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 2.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 7.8% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 6.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
