MSC Cruises has begun the construction of MSC Euribia, its most environmentally advanced vessel yet.
Euribia’s first steel was cut on Mon, ahead of it becoming the 22nd ship in the MSC fleet, and the second powered by liquefied natural gas.
The ship, which is being constructed at Chantiers de l’Atlantique in Saint Nazaire, is set to come into service in 2023.
The start of Euribia’s construction was marked by a traditional steel cutting ceremony, bringing together MSC Cruises Executive Chairman Pierfrancesco Vago and Chantiers de l’Atlantique’s General Manager Laurent Castaing to launch the cutting of the first steel.
“This ship marks a new milestone in our journey towards net zero impact operations and is testament to our commitment to foster and develop next generation environmental technologies,” Vago said.
“Euribia will…be one of the world’s most environmentally high-performing contemporary vessels”.
