MSC Group has revealed plans to add at least 15 new ports between 2024 and 2026 to its existing catalogue of shoreside power points as part of its ongoing decarbonisation mission.

The new 2024-26 shore power plan includes ports such as Barcelona, Valencia, Stavanger, Norfjordied, Miami, Copenhagen, Marseille, Rotterdam, Valletta, Malta and Stockholm.
The company intends for its MSC Cruises and Explora Journeys ships to utilise shore power facilities at all other ports where it operates throughout Europe and the rest of the world when they are made available.
Using shore power removes the need to keep a ship’s engine running and reduces in-port emissions from the vessel.
