MSC BELLISSIMA against its type
Built in 2019, it is 13 years newer than the median passenger ship on this register, which was built in 2006 (127 vessels with a known build year). At 171,500 gross tonnage it is larger than 96% of the other 117 passenger ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 21 passenger ships here under the Malta flag, 15.9% of the 132 on the register.

The reported port of registry changed: La Valletta (2019), then Valletta (2022–2023).
Its 34,396 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 3.2 times the median of 10,915 t among the 54 passenger ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,334.6 kg CO₂, 2.2 times the type median of 595.9 kg. It logged 1,749 hours at sea against a median of 2,376 hours for its type that year. 13.1% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for passenger ships was 15.6%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (95,070 t) and the lowest 2023 (34,396 t). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2023 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2023 was 63.8% lower than in 2019, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 57.3% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.9%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
