COSTA RICAN STAR against its type
Built in 1998, it is 4 years newer than the median refrigerated cargo carrier on this register, which was built in 1994 (183 vessels with a known build year). At 15,058 gross tonnage it is larger than 92% of the other 178 refrigerated cargo carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 26 refrigerated cargo carriers here under the Liberia flag, 12.9% of the 202 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 95 other vessels here, 14 of them refrigerated cargo carriers. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 12,216 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.4 times the median of 5,190 t among the 111 refrigerated cargo carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 286.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 260.9 kg. It logged 2,902 hours at sea against a median of 1,731 hours for its type that year. 5.0% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for refrigerated cargo carriers was 3.8%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (22,076 t) and the lowest 2024 (10,829 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 25 in 2018 to 17 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 17 of 95 qualifying refrigerated cargo carriers by EEOI, at the 17th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 55.3; this vessel reported 40.5.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 301,920,910 tonne-miles over 42,706 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 44.7% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 12.8% while distance sailed rose 4.8%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.7%.That points mainly to how efficiently it sailed, rather than the other.
