Reducing our carbon footprint is not just about grand gestures everyday electricity use is equally important. It’s TBT-free: we strive to keep toxic substances as far from the ocean as possible. By using the most advanced anti-fouling paints on the hulls of all the ships, we keep them as streamlined as they can be. These can increase drag and make vessels less efficient. Ships are naturally prone to barnacles, algae and marine organisms growing on their underwater surfaces. This technology helps ship officers to keep the vessel’s trim optimized to reduce fuel consumption and improve performance.

Our ships are equipped with a software application to monitor and optimize trim in real-time. Optimizing trim requires constant readjustment.

Better data has enabled huge advances in how the ships are managed and has also helped achieve emissions reduction goals. MSC Cruises' onboard engineers are supported by integrated automation systems that aggregate and make sense of enormous quantities of data acquired by field sensors and machineries. The information collected is then compared with a dynamic digital twin to guide onboard operators, improve operational profiles and voyage managment. In 2020, MSC Grandiosa's crew supported the implementation of Ecorizon, an innovate process of ship energy optimisation that collects data using onboard automation systems and sensors, allowing a very precise status report on the energy profile of the ship. We plan our itineraries efficiently and use specialized software to optimize sailing routes and berthing times. An optimized itinerary means a reduced consumption of energy.
