Two New Ships for MSC Cruises
MSC Cruises has confirmed that it has two additional LNG-powered ships on order from the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard.
The new ships, currently referred to as World Class 3 and 4, will join fellow vessels MSC World Europa and MSC World America as members of the World Class of ships from MSC Cruises. They are currently slated for delivery in 2026 and 2027.
The new ships will be an evolution of the state-of-the-art World Class vessels, with innovative solutions to maximize energy efficiency, and the use of heat recovery and other technological solutions. MSC Cruises will equip the vessels to be ready for a variety of alternative fuels including bio and synthetic methane and green methanol. Both ships will have shore power plug-in connectivity to reduce carbon emissions in port, advanced wastewater treatment systems, and a comprehensive range of onboard energy-efficient equipment.
“We are proud to continue our 20-year partnership with Chantiers de l’Atlantique, with whom we have already built 18 ships with our 19th under construction. The World Class is a truly innovative prototype and together we are building some of the most advanced ships in the world. We are committed to researching and investing in future environmental technologies as they become available, to ensure we continue progressing on our decarbonization journey to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050,” said Pierfrancesco Vago, executive chairman at MSC Cruises.
According to an announcement from MSC Cruises, the “two new orders will be subject to access to financing, as per industry practice”. The cruise line will share more details on ship names and highlights at a later date.
