NOVA STAR against its type

Built in 2011, it is 11 years newer than the median ro-pax ship on this register, which was built in 2000 (483 vessels with a known build year). At 27,444 gross tonnage it is larger than 62% of the other 470 ro-pax ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 15 ro-pax ships here under the Bahamas flag, 3.0% of the 493 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 1 other vessel here. The returns for 2019–2025 all give Nassau as port of registry.

Its 37,031 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 23% above the median of 30,062 t among the 417 ro-pax ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 474.6 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 467.6 kg. It logged 5,246 hours at sea against a median of 4,243 hours for its type that year. 9.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for ro-pax ships was 6.7%. Across 7 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (38,354 t) and the lowest 2020 (33,548 t). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 3.4% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 1.7% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 7.8%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 7 MRV reporting years, 5 of 5 vessel particulars and a licensed photograph. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, AIS movements in Norwegian waters, a name history, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
