MSC first global cruise operator to join Green Marine Europe
MSC Group is joining the Green Marine Europe Label, becoming the first major global cruise company to do so.
It is a voluntary environmental certification programme for the maritime industry.
Following Green Marine’s North American environmental certification programme, the European initiative was launched in 2020 to suppors shipowners in demonstrating their environmental performance.
It supports MSC Group’s Cruise Division’s pledge to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
The division’s two brands, MSC Cruises and newly launched Explora Journeys, are committing to measuring their environmental performance as per the programme’s guidelines annually.
It tracks progress across eight key performance indicators: aquatic invasive species, pollutant air emissions, pollutant air emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, oily discharge, waste management, underwater noise, and ship recycling.
The two brands have committed to submitting their annual environmental performance results to an external accredited verification party, and to publishing them.
Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman of the Cruise Division of MSC Group, said: “The Green Marine Europe Label will help us demonstrate our progress and share this with our guests, the communities that we serve and all other stakeholders.”
