Ro-ro ships, 2018
272 ro-ro ships reported to THETIS-MRV for 2018, emitting 6.4 Mt of CO₂. Efficiency is measured as g CO₂/t·nm.
Ro-ro ships report CO₂ per tonne-mile of cargo carried, so ships running part-empty score worse.
The segment at a glance
Operators
The 2018 public files do not name the companies managing each ship, so operator rankings start in 2024.
Efficiency by ship size
Bigger ships move a tonne of cargo for less fuel, so ships are compared within size bands. Each row is drawn against the segment median.
- Q1: ~1,035 t252 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q2: ~2,613 t126 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q3: ~3,757 t91.5 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q4: ~5,150 t78.9 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q5: ~7,360 t51.8 g CO₂/t·nm
Q1 to Q5 split the fleet into fifths by average cargo carried, derived from the published ratios.

How fuel is measured
Each ship's monitoring plan names one or more of the four MRV methods.

Notes
- Medians and rankings use 260 full-year reports with fuel; part-year and zero-fuel reports count towards totals only.
- THETIS reports time at sea on EU-scope voyages only, not time in port. CO₂ at berth is the closest measure of port activity it publishes.
- Speed and distance are derived from the published ratios; THETIS has no distance column.
