AFRICA STAR against its type
Built in 1996, it is 11 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 19,357 gross tonnage it is larger than 77% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 310 general cargo ships here under the Panama flag, 10.1% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 146 other vessels here, 12 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it AFRICA STAR for 2020 and SENATOR for 2025. The returns for 2020–2025 all give PANAMA as port of registry.
Its 1,479 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 48% below the median of 2,820 t among the 2,469 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 206.6 kg CO₂, 1.7 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 781 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 3.9% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2020
Position 38 of 270 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 14th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.3; this vessel reported 12.7.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 143,546,172 tonne-miles over 8,621 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 18.7% lower than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, so the series has gaps.
From 2020 to 2025, emissions fell 18.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.1%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
