MSC
World
Europa
is
the
first
ship
in
the
MSC
fleet
powered
by
liquefied
natural
gas
(LNG),
one
of
the
cleanest

expected
to
play
an
important
role
in
reducing
carbon
emissions
from

bringing
them
to
zero,
and
already
contribute
to
the
removal
of
emissions
of
local
air
pollutants
such
as
sulfur
oxides
and
reduce
Nitrogen
oxides
by
up
to
85
per
cent.

LNG
also
plays
a
prominent
role
in
reducing
climate
change
by
reducing
carbon
dioxide
emissions
by
25
per
cent
and
paving
the
way
for
the
development
of
sustainable
non-fossil
fuels
such
as
green
hydrogen.

The
ship
will
include
a
fuel
cell
display
that
will
test
the

efficiency
in
generating
heat

30
per
cent
efficiency
than
liquified
natural
gas
engines.

selective
catalytic
reduction,
port-supplied
power
supply,

highest
regulatory
requirements
in
the
world.
