MSC WORLD EUROPA the Luxury Cruise Ship!

In this video, I present to you MSC's current largest and most modern cruise ship!

MSC World Europa was built at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, and was designed by them, while the interior design was created by the Swedish company YSA DESIGN in 17 months
The first ship in the MSC World Class series is an LNG-powered ship
In June 2024, it will be the eighth largest passenger ship in the world
She became MSC's first world class ship, and three sister ships will join her in 2025, 2026 and 2027.

In April 2016, MSC Cruises introduced the newest class of its cruise ships, the World Class, after signing a letter of intent at the Elysée Palace for up to four world class ships from STX France, an order worth approximately 4 billion euros.
It was delivered on 2022.10.24.

A "Y" shaped hull for expansive views and a "G" shaped bow for fuel efficiency and stability.

The ship has 7 pools, 13 restaurants, including six specialty restaurants, including Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt's Chef's Garden Kitchen, 20 bars and lounges,
19 different cabin categories - 65 percent with balconies
Accommodating 6,774 passengers and 2,138 crew for a total of 8,912 people, the ship has approximately 40,000 sq m of public space,
Length 333m, width 47m, overall height 77.15m above water 68m below water 9.15m
Weight 215,863 tons.

LNG-powered ship
28% less fuel consumption, resulting in 255kg less CO2 emissions per person per cruise
This reduces sulfur dioxide emissions by 99%, nitrogen monoxide emissions by 85% and carbon dioxide emissions by 20%.
The ship will feature a 50-kilowatt solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology onboard, using LNG to generate on-board electricity and heat,

A SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) is an advanced type of fuel cell that converts chemical energy from fuels such as hydrogen or natural gas directly into electricity through an electrochemical process. Unlike conventional combustion, SOFCs operate at high temperatures (typically 600-1000°C), which allows for greater efficiency and lower emissions.
A variety of fuels can be used, such as hydrogen, methane or biofuels.
SOFCs are highly regarded for their potential to contribute to cleaner, more sustainable energy systems.

It also incorporates the latest water treatment technology to clean wastewater and reduce underwater noise for marine life.

It has 14 cylinders with a displacement of 960 liters per cylinder and a power output of 100 MW.

It is powered by two 6-meter five-bladed propellers at the rear,
azipods (a type of electric propulsion system) that improve the ship's maneuverability and efficiency.

They can rotate 360 ​​degrees.

Their maximum power is 2x25mw

bow thrusters for better maneuverability at low speeds, such as when docking or navigating in tight spaces.

2,000 to 3,000 kW per unit.
Their thrust is 3 meters

There are 4 of them at the front and 3 at the back.
The fuel tank size is 2pcs 2,200 m3.
Maximum speed is 22.7 knots which is 42km/h
