URD against its type
Built in 1981, it is 19 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 13,144 gross tonnage it is smaller than 68% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 48 ro-pax ships here under the Greece flag, 9.7% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 20 other vessels here, 15 of them ro-pax ships. Stena Line is linked to 17 vessels on this register. Its MRV returns name it URD for 2018–2024 and NEARCHOS K for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Kalundborg (2018–2023), then Panama (2024), then Piraeus (2025).
Its 9,736 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 68% 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 262.4 kg CO₂, 44% below the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 2,741 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 8.5% 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 (24,979 t) and the lowest 2025 (9,736 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 61.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 44.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 5.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
