Larger ships do not pollute more. Per unit of cargo they pollute less.

Thank you for mentioning this. Things have to get to their destination somehow, and if you replaced these ships with their equivalent carrying capacity of another form of transport you would probably get even more pollution.

They could use scrubbers or switch to a different fuel when they're near a heavily populated area.
