Shell Western LNG and MSC Cruises, the cruise division of MSC Group, have successfully conducted the inaugural bunkering of LNG-powered ship MSC Euribia in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
LNG Powered Cruise
The first bunkering of the LNG-powered vessel MSC Euribia in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, under the partnership between Shell Western LNG and MSC Cruises, the cruise division of MSC Group, has been successfully completed.
This achievement underscores Shell’s commitment to providing marine fuels for MSC’s newbuild fleet. MSC Cruises is said to have invested €3 billion in three LNG-powered cruise ships.
Pioneering Voyage
The first is MSC World Europa, which set sail in December 2022, the second is MSC Euribia and the third, MSC World America, is expected to join the fleet in 2025.
MSC Euribia is currently operating in Northern Europe. In September 2023, during what was said to be the world’s first net-zero greenhouse gas emissions cruise ship voyage, it achieved an overall saving of 43 tons of bio-LNG fuel.
