SOVEREIGN against its type
Built in 1987, it is 19 years older than the median passenger ship on this register, which was built in 2006 (127 vessels with a known build year). At 73,529 gross tonnage it is larger than 59% 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 returns for 2018–2019 all give Valletta as port of registry.
Its 46,657 t of CO₂ for 2019 is 2.0 times the median of 22,875 t among the 69 passenger ships on this register that reported for 2019. Per nautical mile it emitted 852.0 kg CO₂, close to the type median of 805.0 kg. It logged 5,905 hours at sea against a median of 3,334 hours for its type that year. 1.7% of its 2019 emissions were at berth; the median for passenger ships was 11.4%. Of the 4 comparable vessels listed below with a 2019 return, 1 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.
