AMBER STAR against its type
Built in 2017, it is 10 years newer than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 23,277 gross tonnage it is larger than 89% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 181 general cargo ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 5.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 80 other vessels here, 22 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it AMBER STAR for 2019–2023 and AMBER STAR.GR for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: PANAMA (2019–2023), then Majuro (2024).
Its 660 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 84% below the median of 4,046 t among the 1,395 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 219.5 kg CO₂, 17% above the type median of 187.0 kg. It logged 417 hours at sea against a median of 2,074 hours for its type that year. 0.0% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 3.9%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2023 (5,597 t) and the lowest 2019 (457 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 44 in 2020 to 7 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2024 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 22 of 321 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 7th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 23.6; this vessel reported 8.4.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 78,977,273 tonne-miles over 3,008 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 44.4% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions fell 88.2% while distance sailed fell 89.6%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 13.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
