Originally planned to be just four, Explora Journeys<\/strong> and Italian shipyard Fincantieri<\/strong> have announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to build two new hydrogen-powered luxury liners<\/strong>, bringing the brand’s total number of ships to six. For this project, MSC Croisi\u00e8res has invested \u20ac3.5 billion<\/strong>, of which \u20ac120 million<\/strong> has been added for these two new ships.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While the Explora I, II, III and IV ships will be powered by liquefied natural gas<\/strong> (LNG), the Explora V and VI will be equipped with \u201ca new generation of engines running on liquefied natural gas, a solution to the problem of methane spillage<\/em>\u201d as well as a \u201cliquid hydrogen containment system<\/em>,\u201d the group said later.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pierfrancesco Vago<\/strong>, executive chairman of the MSC Group’s cruise division, said: \u201cThis announcement marks another important step in our goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 across the cruise operations of our 2 companies and is further evidence of our commitment to invest in the most advanced marine environmental technologies to develop sustainable solutions for the future<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When these ships are docked with engines off, the hydrogen will power a 6-megawatt fuel cell producing clean energy<\/strong> for hotel services and allowing the ships to operate emission-free <\/strong>while docked.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hydrogen is a clean energy that produces only water as a waste product. However, its production is polluting. However, hydrogen remains an efficient alternative with a lower ecological impact.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n These two new ships will be commissioned in 2027<\/strong> and 2028<\/strong> respectively, while Explora Journeys will set sail for the first time in 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read also > THE CRUISE INDUSTRY GETS A FRESH START<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Featured Photo : \u00a9 Explora Journeys[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row njt-role=”not-logged-in”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Originally planned to be just four, Explora Journeys<\/strong> and Italian shipyard Fincantieri<\/strong> have announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to build two new hydrogen-powered luxury liners<\/strong>, bringing the brand’s total number of ships to six.
