MINISTAR against its type
Built in 1983, it is 24 years older than the median general cargo ship on this register, which was built in 2007 (2,852 vessels with a known build year). At 6,705 gross tonnage it is larger than 53% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 67 general cargo ships here under the Saint Kitts and Nevis flag, 2.2% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 6 other vessels here, all of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it OCEAN FORCE for 2020 and MINISTAR for 2022–2024. The reported port of registry changed: Belize City (2020), then Basseterre (2022–2024).
Its 2,124 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 48% 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 134.5 kg CO₂, 28% below the type median of 187.0 kg. It logged 2,220 hours at sea against a median of 2,074 hours for its type that year. 5.6% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 3.9%. Across 4 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2024 (2,124 t) and the lowest 2020 (90 t).

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 2,257.3% higher than in 2020, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2023 to 2024, emissions rose 417.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 25.6%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
