In this week’s edition of “Our Take on Cruise,” Shannon McKee and Roger Blum discuss the exciting news from MSC Cruises about the MSC Euribia, which is making its first voyage with zero net greenhouse gas emissions cruise.
The cruise industry has made significant investments, totaling more than $22 billion globally, in ships with new technologies and cleaner fuels to reduce air emissions and increase efficiency. While there are still hurdles to overcome in achieving net zero emissions across the cruise industry by 2050, MSC and its partners have demonstrated that it is achievable.
This historic cruise uses bio-LNG as one of its fuels, showcasing the potential for greener alternatives in cruising. The limited supplies of alternative fuels remain a challenge, but MSC’s achievement is a significant step forward. It highlights the need for collaboration between governments, producers, and end-users to scale up the availability of new sources of power.
Congratulations to MSC Cruises and the cruise industry for this groundbreaking achievement, which proves that green cruising is possible!
