MSC MERAVIGLIA against its type
Built in 2017, it is 11 years newer than the median passenger ship on this register, which was built in 2006 (127 vessels with a known build year). At 171,589 gross tonnage it is larger than 97% 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 (2018–2019), then Valletta (2022).
Its 50,581 t of CO₂ for 2022 is 4.6 times the median of 10,903 t among the 54 passenger ships on this register that reported for 2022. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,483.3 kg CO₂, 2.3 times the type median of 656.3 kg. It logged 2,431 hours at sea against a median of 3,413 hours for its type that year. 24.4% of its 2022 emissions were at berth; the median for passenger ships was 8.4%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (136,386 t) and the lowest 2022 (50,581 t). The one comparable vessel listed below with a 2022 return reported a higher or equal CO₂ per nautical mile.

Reported CO₂ by year
Reported CO₂ in 2022 was 62.9% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, 2021, so the series has gaps.
From 2019 to 2022, emissions fell 52.9% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.7%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
