No. The 16 biggest cargo ships pollute as much as all the cars, not just 16 random cargo ships. Off those 100k cargo ships the extreme majority are much much smaller.

Also, it's only NOx and SOx pollution where the ships beat the cars. In terms of carbon dioxide pollution, the pollution from all ships in the world is utterly dwarfed by the pollution from cars.
