Valletta Goes Green: MSC Cruises Powers Up Emission-Free Port Calls
MSC’s LNG-powered ships MSC World Europa and EXPLORA II used Valletta’s new shore-power system on consecutive days in October 2025, marking Malta’s first back-to-back connections and Explora Journeys’ first shore-power use in Europe. Since 2024, MSC ships have spent about 300 hours on shore power in Valletta, avoiding half a month’s diesel emissions while docked.
