STAR HERDLA against its type
Built in 1994, it is 13 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 32,744 gross tonnage it is larger than 96% of the other 2,665 general cargo ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 216 general cargo ships here under the Liberia flag, 7.0% of the 3,081 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 83 other vessels here, 7 of them general cargo ships. Its MRV returns name it STAR HERDLA for 2019–2024 and SPANACO STAR for 2025. The reported port of registry changed: Bergen (2019–2024), then Monrovia, Liberia (2025).
Its 9,139 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 3.2 times the median of 2,820 t among the 2,469 general cargo ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 258.5 kg CO₂, 2.1 times the type median of 122.2 kg. It logged 3,079 hours at sea against a median of 3,044 hours for its type that year. 5.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for general cargo ships was 4.3%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (9,139 t) and the lowest 2019 (3,380 t). Of the 2 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 170.4% higher than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2021, 2023, so the series has gaps.
From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 119.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 7.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
