LNG

MSC Cruises has opened sales for MSC Euribia – the line’s most environmentally advanced ship in its fleet and its second LNG-powered ship.

Silversea Cruises’ next series of ultra-luxury ships will be operated using a combination of power sources – fuel cells, battery technology and LNG.

Ponant has taken delivery of Le Commandant Charcot, the first hybrid electric polar expedition ship powered by Liquified Natural Gas, at a ceremony at the VARD shipyard in Norway.

MSC Cruises today took delivery of its newest flagship MSC Grandiosa, one of the most environmentally-advanced ships at sea yet, last Thursday in France. On the day, a second important milestone event took place with the traditional cutting of the first steel and naming of MSC’s first World Class ship, MSC Europa, by MSC Cruises’ Executive Chairman, Pierfrancesco Vago. MSC Europa is the first of five liquified natural gas (LNG)-powered cruise ships on order and the first LNG ship to be built in France.
