The MSC Euribia, a ship designed for the sustainability of the future, has been delivered in Saint-Nazaire.
A ship built wìth the future in mind
MSC Euribia, the twenty-second vessel in the cruise company's fleet, is the latest evolution of the Meraviglia class and the second MSC vessel to be powered by LNG, after the World Europa. With numerous cutting-edge environmental technologies on board, including advanced waste-water treatment and waste management systems, it has also been designed with the future in mind, so that it can easily incorporate innovations such as zero-emission synthetic fuels and other alternative propellants. The Euribia outperforms the latest Imo Energy efficiency design index requirements: when in service, it emits up to 19% less greenhouse gases (Ghg) per passenger per day than ships using conventional marine fuels.
“Our goal is zero net greenhouse gas emissions”
"With the delivery of the Euribia, we have taken another huge step towards our goal of zero net greenhouse gas emissions," says Pierfrancesco Vago, executive chairman of the MSC Group's cruise division. "In addition to environmental innovations it also features an energy-efficient design that will greatly reduce emissions over its lifetime. With its entry into service we celebrate a further step towards our goal of achieving zero-GHG marine operations by 2050. We also want to ensure rapid retrofitting to new technologies that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions until they are completely eliminated."
