Timeline

Dated events for this ship from every source Voydar holds, newest first. Each line names its source; derived items say how they were derived.

Owner, operator and manager changes found by comparing yearly EU MRV reports are dated to the reporting year ("during 2025"), not to a day. Port calls here are the most recent only; the full lists are further down.

Emissions & fuel consumption

Independently verified annual figures reported under the EU MRV regulation — public environmental data the incumbents don't surface.

Technical efficiency: EEXI (22.48 gCO₂/t·nm). Source: European Commission / EMSA THETIS-MRV (EU Regulation 2015/757). Covers voyages to, from and within the EU/EEA.

Port calls

Two kinds of evidence, kept apart: calls Voydar detected from the ship's AIS positions, and arrivals and departures published by port authorities and customs records.

About ULYSSES

MV Ulysses is a roll-on/roll-off car ferry owned and operated by Irish Ferries. The ship was launched on 1 September 2000[3] at Aker Finnyards shipyard in Rauma, Finland and services the Dublin–Holyhead route. The vessel has 12 decks, with a total height of 167.5 feet (51.1 m) from keel to mast. It has five vehicle decks, including a stowable mezzanine deck consisting of two swing decks, which are lowered to accommodate a greater number of vehicles up to 2 metres high. These swing decks are primarily used in holiday seasons when there is a much greater number of passenger vehicles. When launched she was the world's largest car ferry in terms of vehicle capacity.
