QUEEN ELIZABETH against its type
Built in 2010, it is 4 years newer than the median passenger ship on this register, which was built in 2006 (127 vessels with a known build year). At 90,900 gross tonnage it is larger than 74% of the other 117 passenger ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 6 passenger ships here under the Bermuda flag, 4.5% of the 132 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 132 other vessels here, 29 of them passenger ships. Cunard Line is linked to 5 vessels on this register. The returns for 2018–2023 all give Hamilton as port of registry.
Its 15,055 t of CO₂ for 2023 is 38% above the median of 10,915 t among the 54 passenger ships on this register that reported for 2023. Per nautical mile it emitted 1,086.7 kg CO₂, 1.8 times the type median of 595.9 kg. It logged 948 hours at sea against a median of 2,376 hours for its type that year. 15.8% of its 2023 emissions were at berth; the median for passenger ships was 15.6%. Across 5 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2018 (104,248 t) and the lowest 2023 (15,055 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 85.6% lower than in 2018, for EU/EEA voyages only. No return is recorded for 2020, so the series has gaps.
From 2022 to 2023, emissions fell 75.5% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 10.3%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
