MSC Cruises is fully committed to a collaborative approach that leverages knowledge and technology from both inside and outside the cruise and wider shipping industry, to accelerate the maritime transition to a low-carbon alternative fuel future.   To help foster unified thinking and action, our Sustainability and Government Affairs colleagues joined 70 other cruise and maritime leaders at a Decarbonisation Summit in Florida this weekend, to ‘take action together’.   During a series of panels, roundtables and workshops, conversation focused on key areas including policy, technology development, alternative fuel opportunities and challenges, and emissions reduction.   Our Chief Energy Transition Officer Michele Francioni and Bud Darr, MSC Group Executive Vice President, Maritime Policy and Government Affairs, led discussions on what more needs to be done to support a clear, unified, industry pathway to zero greenhouse gas emissions.   It was inspiring to have brought so many respected industry colleagues together to collaboratively solve some of the biggest issues facing cruising today. #MSCCruises #Leadership #Sustainability

MSC World Europa has become the first ship to plug into Valletta’s new shore power facility, the first to be operational in the Mediterranean.    Malta’s power grid supplied electricity for all MSC World Europa’s operations whilst the ship was berthed to allow all engines to be switched off, eliminating the vessel’s direct emissions at the port.    Speaking as Malta’s Prime Minister Robert Abela toured the 22-deck LNG-powered ship, Michele Francioni, MSC Cruises’ Chief Energy Transition Officer applauded Malta for leading the way for the provision of shore power in the Mediterranean Sea. He said:   “Shore power is one very important element of our continued commitment towards decarbonisation, with most of the MSC Cruises fleet equipped to eliminate local emissions and improve local air quality when the ships are at berth in port. We look forward to many more ports in the region and throughout the world being equipped in the future so that the cruise and broader maritime sector can further reduce local emissions when alongside.” For more, visit https://lnkd.in/g4ZQxHid #MSCCruises #CruiseNews #ShorePower #MSCWorldEuropa Stefano Battinelli Transport Malta

We believe that a sustainable future for cruising is not only achievable, but well on its way.   MSC Cruises’ Linden Coppell joins Reuters Plus to unpack the company’s transformation to become more sustainable and achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions for its fleet by 2050.   Ship and engine technology – which includes shore power connectivity - operational efficiency and renewable fuels are the key pillars propelling our forward motion.   “We're seeing frequent progress being made by our industry, both with efficiency, technologies and with trialing renewable fuels,” says Coppell. “That's only going to accelerate, and with MSC Euribia we showed that the future of cruising is coming.”   Read more: https://lnkd.in/deKnSCtY   #MSCCruises #CruiseNews #Sustainability
