The company said that the award recognizes its multifaceted environmental work and recognizes three key sustainability milestones achieved in 2019: the start of construction of MSC World Europa, the first of up to nine new-generation LNG-powered ships to join the company's fleet in the next decade; the restoration of the original, pristine state of the Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in the Bahamas; and
“We are honored to receive this award, which recognizes our ongoing efforts to embrace a zero-impact future. As a company we are unequivocally committed to protecting the environment, the coastal communities that we reach and all our employees. Our long-term vision is to become an environmental leader within the overall maritime sector. We are doing this by constantly taking steps to decrease our fleet’s environmental impact and investing in the accelerated development of next-generation environmental technologies and solutions," Pierfrancesco Vago, MSC Cruises’ Executive Chairman commented.
