LINK STAR against its type
Built in 1989, it is 13 years older than the median ro-ro ship on this register, which was built in 2002 (281 vessels with a known build year). At 5,627 gross tonnage it is smaller than 97% of the other 269 ro-ro ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 6 ro-ro ships here under the Norway flag, 1.9% of the 311 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 180 other vessels here, 13 of them ro-ro ships. The reported port of registry changed: Finstrom (2018–2020), then Åkrehamn (2022–2025).
Its 4,974 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 77% below the median of 21,362 t among the 238 ro-ro ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 103.9 kg CO₂, 68% below the type median of 327.0 kg. It logged 4,891 hours at sea against a median of 4,872 hours for its type that year. 6.2% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-ro ships was 4.3%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (8,991 t) and the lowest 2024 (4,123 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 50 in 2022 to 47 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 3 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 0 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 91 of 192 qualifying ro-ro ships by EEOI, at the 47th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 85.3; this vessel reported 83.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 59,744,024 tonne-miles over 47,852 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 41.2% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 20.6% while distance sailed rose 34.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.0%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
