QINGDAO STAR against its type
Built in 2006, it is 2 years older than the median container ship on this register, which was built in 2008 (3,088 vessels with a known build year). At 39,906 gross tonnage it is smaller than 57% of the other 3,000 container ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 119 container ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 146 other vessels here, 43 of them container ships. Its MRV returns name it ZIM QINGDAO for 2019–2022 and QINGDAO STAR for 2024. The reported port of registry changed: Haifa (2021–2022), then Majuro (2024).
Its 8,007 t of CO₂ for 2024 is 55% below the median of 17,769 t among the 2,101 container ships on this register that reported for 2024. Per nautical mile it emitted 535.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 528.5 kg. It logged 991 hours at sea against a median of 3,325 hours for its type that year. 0.3% of its 2024 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 2.8%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (36,373 t) and the lowest 2024 (8,007 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 53 in 2019 to 49 in 2024 (lower is more efficient).

Efficiency against its own type2024
Position 819 of 1,661 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 49th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 15.4; this vessel reported 15.3.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 524,730,668 tonne-miles over 14,945 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2024 was 76.4% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2024, emissions fell 75.6% while distance sailed fell 75.2%and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 1.5%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
