MOROCCO STAR against its type
Built in 1980, it is 20 years older than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 16,071 gross tonnage it is smaller than 61% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 4 ro-pax ships here under the Morocco flag, 0.8% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 3 other vessels here, all of them ro-pax ships. DSB is linked to 2 vessels on this register. The reported port of registry changed: TANGER (2019–2023), then Tangier (2024–2025).
Its 19,655 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 35% below the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 501.4 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 3,433 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 6.6% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (26,238 t) and the lowest 2023 (11,582 t). The one sister ship listed below with a 2025 return reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 25.1% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 13.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 13.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
