WASA EXPRESS 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 17,089 gross tonnage it is smaller than 60% 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 19 other vessels here, 11 of them ro-pax ships. The reported port of registry changed: Vaasa (2018–2020), then Limassol (2021–2025).
Its 1,604 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 95% 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 616.1 kg CO₂, 32% above the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 238 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 6.2% 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 2023 (21,532 t) and the lowest 2025 (1,604 t). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2022
Position 1 of 1 qualifying ro-pax ships by EEOI, at the 0th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 653.2; this vessel reported 653.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 29,318,662 tonne-miles over 50,874 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 90.8% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 83.0% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 67.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
