SHEKOU STAR against its type
Built in 2007, it is 1 year 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 SHEKOU for 2019–2022 and SHEKOU STAR for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Monrovia (2021–2022), then Majuro (2024–2025).
Its 11,432 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 30% below the median of 16,359 t among the 2,234 container ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 476.2 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,105 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 1.1% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for container ships was 3.2%. Across 6 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2021 (38,095 t) and the lowest 2024 (2,143 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 48 in 2019 to 71 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 4 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,300 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 71st percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 20.9.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 546,185,380 tonne-miles over 24,006 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 66.0% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 433.6% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 14.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
