Ro-ro ships, 2025
245 ro-ro ships reported to THETIS-MRV for 2025, emitting 5.5 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.

Operators with at least 3 ships in this segment. Figures cover their ships in this segment only, so a group active in several segments (MSC runs container and cruise ships) has its full total on the market page.

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: ~717 t297 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q2: ~1,761 t161 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q3: ~3,233 t100 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q4: ~4,969 t76.5 g CO₂/t·nm
- Q5: ~8,087 t49 g CO₂/t·nm
Q1 to Q5 split the fleet into fifths by average cargo carried, derived from the published ratios.

Notes
- Medians and rankings use 235 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.
