‘These efforts go hand in hand with our ambition to become one of the most sustainable ports in the world. The arrival of MSC Euribia inspires us to continuously work hard and dedicatedly to secure a green transition.’

The 181,541gt vessel will become the line’s second ship to be powered by LNG. It will feature state-of-the-art environmental technologies including a ‘Baltic Standard’ advanced onboard wastewater treatment system, waste management handling, energy efficiency measures and shore power connectivity.
