Equipped with state-of-the-art engines, the vessel is projected to slash greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by a remarkable 20 percent, accompanied by an 85 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions and a near eradication of sulfur oxide and particulate emissions. Furthermore, the ship's adaptable nature allows it to operate on Bio-LNG and Synthetic Renewable LNG fuels, both of which have the potential to achieve a staggering 100 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Elevating environmental stewardship to unprecedented heights, MSC World America employs advanced wastewater treatment systems that surpass the standards of many municipal treatment facilities worldwide. The vessel adheres to the stringent regulations set forth by the International Maritime Organization, including the rigorous Baltic standard. Additionally, the vessel is outfitted with cutting-edge waste management technologies designed to minimize, reuse, and recycle onboard waste.

In a concerted effort to mitigate the environmental impact of its operations, MSC Cruises has made significant strides in reducing the intensity of its ship operations by 33.5 percent since 2008, well on track to achieving a 40 percent reduction ahead of the IMO 2030 target. Going beyond conventional operational efficiencies, the company is actively embracing emerging technologies and exploring avenues for transitioning to non-carbon and renewable fuels. Collaborative efforts with fuel providers and strategic partners are underway to facilitate the adoption of Bio-LNG and Synthetic Renewable LNG soon, underscoring MSC Cruises' unwavering commitment to sustainable innovation in the maritime industry.
