Geneva – During the world’s first net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions cruise ship voyage, “MSC Euribia”, the MSC Cruises’ newest LNG-powered vessel, has achieved an overall saving of 43 tonnes of bio-LNG fuel during the voyage, the company revealed. MSC Cruises As explained, during the four-day voyage, MSC Euribia performed 11% better than the ship’s digital twin – a virtual ship reproducing the optimum energy flow and utilisation on board.
This enabled the vessel to achieve an overall saving of 43 tonnes of fuel. Specifically, optimal speed profiles, routing, trim and engine configuration, and strict optimisation of the hotel`s energy consumption, including HVAC, galleys, and lightings, ensured that “MSC Euribia” never had to use more than two of its four engines available during the voyage.
In addition, all the required heat for galleys, heating systems and hot water on board was recovered from “MSC Euribia” ’s engines, meaning there was no need to utilise the boilers for the entire voyage, MSC Cruises noted.
