Hull design winner Alex\u00a0<\/strong>Fl\u00e4mig<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0commented<\/strong>,\u00a0\u201cTo witness my design finally come to life across MSC Euribia\u2019s hull is an incredibly proud moment and even more so, to soon have my artwork sailing the world\u2019s oceans. I hope it can serve not only as a testament to MSC Cruises\u2019 commitment to protecting the important marine ecosystem, but also as an inspiration for those working on finding innovative solutions to safeguard the future of the ocean.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nMSC Euribia<\/em>\u00a0is named after the ancient goddess Eurybia, who harnessed the winds, weather, and constellations to master the seas, illustrating the vision of the ship to deploy advanced sustainable solutions do the same.\u00a0Designed with an\u00a0ocean-inspired colour palette,\u00a0Fl\u00e4mig\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>visual masterpiece\u00a0<\/span>entitled \u201c#SavetheSea<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0is a representation of\u00a0MSC Cruises\u2019\u00a0ongoing dedication to the sea and commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\nTHE ENVIRONMENTALLY ADVANCED MSC EURIBIA<\/strong><\/p>\nLNG is one of the world\u2019s cleanest marine fuels available at scale and is set to play a key role in the transition to the decarbonisation of international shipping. It substantially reduces local air pollutant emissions like sulphur oxides by up to 99 per cent and nitrogen oxides by up to 85 per cent.\u00a0 LNG also plays a key role in climate change mitigation as it offers up to a 20 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and is paving the way for the uptake of sustainable non-fossil fuels such as bio- and synthetic LNG.<\/p>\n
As bio and synthetic fuels become available,\u00a0MSC Euribia<\/em>\u2019s emissions will be further reduced. LNG is key to the development of low carbon solutions for shipping as emerging technologies such as fuel cells can be operated with LNG until zero emissions bio-LNG or green hydrogen become available at scale. MSC Cruises is actively involved in several projects to develop and make these technologies viable in partnership with regulators, academia, shipyards and industry.<\/p>\nThe ship will also feature shore power plug-in connectivity to reduce carbon emissions in port, the most advanced wastewater treatment systems designed in line with the United Nations\u2019 shipping body the International Maritime Organization, comprehensive waste recycling, underwater radiated noise management system to help limit disturbance to marine life and a comprehensive range of onboard energy efficient equipment to optimise engine use and hotel energy needs to further reduce emissions.<\/p>\n
MSC Euribia<\/em>\u00a0will begin to set sail for her inaugural season in Northern Europe in June, offering 7-night sailings from\u00a0Kiel, Germany<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Copenhagen, Denmark<\/strong>\u00a0to the captivating Norwegian Fjords including\u00a0Geiranger,<\/strong>\u00a0\u00c5lesund,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Flaam.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>Book Now<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
