HAPPY STAR against its type
Built in 2014, it is 7 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 18,374 gross tonnage it is larger than 76% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 306 general cargo ships here under the Netherlands flag, 9.9% of the 3,081 on the register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give Amsterdam as port of registry.
Its 2,369 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 16% 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 346.3 kg CO₂, 2.8 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 542 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 11.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (9,476 t) and the lowest 2025 (2,369 t). Of the 7 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 7 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2018
Position 372 of 380 qualifying general cargo ships by EEOI, at the 98th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 26.8; this vessel reported 183.1.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 51,741,673 tonne-miles over 30,040 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 75.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2022, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 50.4% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 14.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
