GOLD STAR against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year older than the median vehicle carrier on this register, which was built in 2008 (595 vessels with a known build year). At 46,800 gross tonnage it is smaller than 79% of the other 571 vehicle carriers with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 89 vehicle carriers here under the Liberia flag, 12.5% of the 713 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 41 other vessels here, 22 of them vehicle carriers. Its MRV returns name it LAKE SUPERIOR for 2018–2022 and GOLD STAR for 2023–2025. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Monrovia as port of registry.
Its 5,167 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 27% below the median of 7,074 t among the 514 vehicle carriers on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 350.1 kg CO₂, 13% above the type median of 309.1 kg. It logged 1,016 hours at sea against a median of 1,639 hours for its type that year. 0.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for vehicle carriers was 3.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (19,511 t) and the lowest 2023 (3,985 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 59 in 2018 to 93 in 2024 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 73.5% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 4.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 4.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
