MSC POESIA against its type

Built in 2008, it is 2 years older than the median cruise ship on this register, which was built in 2010 (195 vessels with a known build year). At 92,627 gross tonnage it is larger than 62% of the other 177 cruise ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 15 cruise ships here under the Panama flag, 7.4% of the 202 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 5 other vessels here, one of them a cruise ship. MSC Cruises is linked to 24 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2025 all give PANAMA as port of registry.

Its 64,693 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 2.1 times the median of 31,269 t among the 200 cruise ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,119.6 kg CO₂, 36% above the type median of 821.3 kg. It logged 4,190 hours at sea against a median of 3,133 hours for its type that year. 13.7% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for cruise ships was 15.1%. Across 8 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2019 (80,768 t) and the lowest 2020 (1,031 t). Of the 8 comparable vessels listed below with a 2025 return, 6 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 9.0% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions fell 6.1% and CO₂ per nautical mile rose 2.4%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.

Sources and how to read this

This page draws on 8 MRV reporting years, 5 of 5 vessel particulars, AIS movements in Norwegian waters and a licensed photograph. Not found in the sources for this vessel: an efficiency ranking, a name history, a sanctions listing and US port state inspections.

Empty means unreported, never zero. How EEOI, distance, percentiles and sister ships are handled is explained under reading a vessel page. Something wrong? See corrections.
