EMF Vessel Map – as of 30th September

Freeport Star       

  • Currently located in New York, USA
  • Arrived at the Port of New York on 30 September
  • Fun fact: Modern container shipping began at the Port of New York and New Jersey in 1956, when the Ideal X, a converted oil tanker, sailed from Port Newark to Houston carrying just 58 containers. That small load helped transform global trade

Stavanger Star

  • Currently located in the Red Sea
  • Enroute from Santa Panagia, Italy to Singapore, ETA 15 October
  • Fun fact: Santa Panagia’s maritime trade has shifted from tuna to tankers. The bay’s historic tuna fishery operated until the 1950s, while today its oil terminal serves Sicily’s ISAB refinery

Oslo Star      

  • Currently located off the coast of the Maldives
  • Enroute from Singapore to Marsa Bashayer, Sudan, ETA 9 October
  • Fun fact: Sillamae is the EU’s easternmost port, located just 25 km from the Russian border

Copenhagen Star

  • Currently located in the North Atlantic Ocean
  • Enroute from Honolulu, USA to Vancouver, Canada, ETA 4 October
  • Fun fact: Cargo ships heading to Vancouver are encouraged to slow down in key whale habitats. The port’s ECHO programme helps reduce underwater noise so endangered killer whales can hunt and communicate more easily

Athenian Star      

  • Currently located off the coast of South America
  • Enroute from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Walvis Bay, Namibia, ETA 5 October
  • Fun fact: The Port of Rio de Janeiro was established in 1910 and was once one of Brazil’s main coffee-exporting ports, helping connect the country’s coffee industry with markets around the world

Geneva Star              

  • Currently located at José Terminal, Venezuela
  • Was enroute from Willemstad, Curacao to José Terminal, Venezuela
  • Fun fact: Walvis Bay has a natural breakwater: the long sand spit of Pelican Point shelters its deep-water harbour from Atlantic waves, giving cargo ships a protected anchorage along Namibia’s desert coast

Lausanne Star 

  • Currently located in the Caribbean Sea
  • Enroute from José Terminal, Venezuela to the Gulf of Mexico, ETA 4 October
  • Fun fact: José Terminal is one of Venezuela’s main oil export hubs, handling crude and refined products from the country’s vast Orinoco oil belt

Eco Star

  • Currently located in the Indian Ocean
  • Enroute from Le Port, Reunion to Port Klang, Malaysia, 6 October
  • Fun fact: Reunion’s main port gave rise to a town literally called “Le Port”, French for “The Port”. The harbour opened in 1886, and the settlement built around its docks and railway became a separate municipality in 1895

Clean Star

  • Currently located in the East China Sea
  • Enroute from Ningo, China to Suez, Egypt, ETA 18 October
  • Fun fact: Ningbo-Zhoushan handled more than 1.4 billion tonnes of cargo in 2025, making it the world’s busiest port by cargo tonnage for the 17th consecutive year. That averages nearly four million tonnes a day
