VANCOUVER STAR against its type
It is one of 119 container ships here under the Marshall Islands flag, 3.4% of the 3,495 on the register. Its MRV returns name it ZIM VANCOUVER for 2019–2022 and VANCOUVER STAR for 2024–2025. The reported port of registry changed: Haifa (2021–2022), then Majuro (2024–2025).
Its 12,282 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 25% 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 537.8 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 545.6 kg. It logged 2,145 hours at sea against a median of 3,155 hours for its type that year. 2.8% 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 (41,064 t) and the lowest 2024 (7,137 t). Its efficiency percentile within the type went from 48 in 2019 to 69 in 2025 (lower is more efficient). Of the 5 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 5 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Efficiency against its own type2025
Position 1,275 of 1,838 qualifying container ships by EEOI, at the 69th percentile. The dashed line is the type median, 14.2; this vessel reported 20.2.
EEOI divides emissions by transport work, which for this vessel and year was 607,112,704 tonne-miles over 22,839 nautical miles.
Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 64.7% 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 72.1% while distance sailed rose 45.0%and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 18.7%.That points mainly to how much the vessel sailed, rather than the other.
